    Good medical treatment is the key to responding to
    the epidemic after the implementation of "Class B and B tube".
    By optimizing processes, expanding resources, and increasing strength, China has strengthened the coordination of epidemic prevention and control, patient treatment and daily medical services
    .
    What are the current trends in the number of outpatient emergency and critical cases? Can the current beds meet the needs of intensive care? How to ensure the health of key groups? The joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the 14th to respond
    to relevant hot issues.
     
    Has the peak of severe illness passed? Positive continuous fluctuations fall
     
    Jiao Yahui, Secretary for Medical Administration of the National Health Commission, said that the number of outpatient fever consultations and treatments nationwide reached 2.
    867 million on December 23, 2022, and then continued to decline, falling back to 477,000 on January 12, 2023, a decrease of 83.
    3%
    from the peak.
    The number of emergency visits peaked at 1.
    526 million on January 2, 2023, and dropped to 1.
    092 million on January 12
    .
    In fever clinics and emergency departments, the proportion of new coronavirus positive infections has steadily decreased
    .
    These trends indicate that the peak of fever clinics has passed
    .
    In addition, from the perspective of outpatient conditions, normal diagnosis and treatment are gradually recovering
    .
     
    "Two weeks after the fever clinic peaked, the number of new crown-positive severe patients in the hospital also peaked, and then showed a slow downward trend
    .
    " Jiao Yahui said that on January 5, 2023, the number of new crown positive severe patients in the hospital reached 128,000, and then fluctuated and declined, and the number of positive severe patients in the hospital fell back to 105,000
    by January 12.
     
    The press conference disclosed that from December 8, 2022 to January 12, 2023, a total of 59,938 deaths related to new coronavirus infection occurred in hospital medical institutions nationwide, including 5,503 deaths from respiratory failure caused by new coronavirus infection and 54,435 deaths from underlying diseases combined with new coronavirus infection
    .
    More than 90% of the deaths had underlying medical conditions, with an average age of 80.
    3 years
    .
     
    How to strengthen intensive care? Emphasis should still be placed on moving the threshold forward
     
    The focus of the current epidemic prevention and control work is "health care and prevention of severe diseases"
    .
    In order to strengthen the treatment of critically ill patients, the relevant departments have guided all localities to establish a comprehensive treatment system for critically ill and critically ill patients, as well as a daily consultation and patrol system
    for experts at the national and provincial levels.
     
    "At present, the utilization rate of intensive care beds is 75.
    3%, and intensive care beds can meet the needs of
    treatment.
    " Jiao Yahui introduced that among the new crown positive severe patients in the hospital on January 12, 92.
    8%
    of the patients with severe underlying diseases combined with new crown virus infection.
     
    From the data analysis, the severe patients infected with the new crown virus are mainly the elderly, the oldest is 105 years old, the average age is 75.
    5 years old, and 89.
    6%
    are 60 years old and above.
    These severe patients generally have a variety of underlying diseases, 40.
    7% of patients have 1 underlying disease, 24.
    6% have 2 underlying diseases, and 34.
    8% have 3 or more underlying diseases, and most of the underlying diseases are cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, endocrine system diseases and respiratory diseases
    .
     
    To this end, Jiao Yahui stressed that the treatment of critically ill patients should also emphasize moving forward, adhere to the treatment method of paying equal attention to new crown infection and underlying diseases, and multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment
    .
     
    China's anti-epidemic practice shows that "early detection, early identification, early intervention, and early referral" can reduce the occurrence of
    severe disease to a certain extent.
     
    Wen Daxiang, director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, believes that giving full play to the basic and bottom role of community health service centers as much as possible is the starting point
    for achieving the "four mornings".
    To this end, Shanghai has equipped CT for qualified community health service centers, so that patients can be detected early through lung imaging at their doorstep, and the drug distribution is tilted towards the community, and more than 60,000 boxes of antiviral drugs
    have been distributed to community health service centers.
     
    How to protect key groups? Vaccination is the highest priority for protection
     
    The elderly, pregnant women, children, and patients with underlying diseases are the key protection groups
    for the prevention and control of the new crown.
     
    Mi Feng, spokesman of the National Health Commission, said that health monitoring and graded classification services should be provided to key groups such as the elderly, pregnant women, children, and patients with underlying diseases; It is necessary to implement the responsibility system of tertiary hospitals, smooth the green channel for severe referral, integrate traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat patients, and further increase the vaccination rate of the elderly; It is necessary to pay close attention to rural areas, give play to the leading role of county hospitals, do a good job in graded and categorized treatment, and improve the capacity of
    medical services in rural areas.
     
    "According to more than three years of epidemiological surveillance, the elderly, people with underlying diseases, immunocompromised and other groups have a higher
    risk of hospitalization, severe disease and death after infection with the new coronavirus.
    " Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that vaccination is the highest priority measure
    for protection.
    Key populations that have not been fully vaccinated are advised to complete vaccination as soon as possible, including booster vaccination
    .
     
    "If the antigen or nucleic acid test result is positive, it is not recommended to receive the new crown vaccine
    in the near future.
    This is mainly considered
    from the necessity of protection.
    Wang Huaqing said that according to the current regulations, the general infection time and vaccination interval is not less than 6 months, and the follow-up will be based on the needs of prevention and control, vaccine immunization effect research, combined with the new crown vaccine before infection, and constantly improve the immunization strategy, including the interval between vaccinations, the number of doses received, etc
