President of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital: Be wary of Coolidge side effects, and patients must follow the doctor's instructions

At 21:00 on February 2, Hubei Province held a press conference on the prevention and control of the pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus infection to report on the prevention and control of the epidemic in Hubei Province.

A reporter asked at the press conference, how is the current treatment of patients in Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital?

Zhang Dingyu, president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, replied that at present, after all patients are transferred to our hospital, they are guided by national, provincial and municipal expert groups to carry out diagnosis and treatment in accordance with the fourth version of the diagnosis and treatment specifications. According to the condition, nasal catheter oxygen therapy, high-flow humidification oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation therapy, endotracheal intubation ventilator assisted ventilation, some patients can also use in vitro active oxygen and support artificial liver, artificial kidney and other advanced life support, while giving antiviral, anti-infection, anti-inflammatory, anti-shock, correction of internal environmental disorders, correction of acid-base balance disorders and other treatments as appropriate. Under the guidance of Professor Cao Bin, the first group of experts from the medical team of the National Health Commission and vice president of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, our hospital took the lead in carrying out clinical research on Coolidge (a drug) for patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia. At present, just from the clinician's feelings, this drug seems to be effective, especially in patients with early severe illness, and can slow down the possibility of patients developing severe and micro-severe disease, but the evidence is not strong enough. At present, the online speculation on the efficacy of Coolidge, etc., is suspected of being in a hurry to go to the doctor, which may lead to drug abuse. Here in particular, we remind everyone that Coolidge itself will produce gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., allergies and liver damage, heart rate slowdown and other effects, especially in the original disease itself, while taking other drugs, we must be vigilant against the side effects of Coolidge and these drugs interaction superposition, so it is recommended that patients must take it under the guidance of a doctor.
