At the meeting, Wang Guiqiang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Peking University First Hospital, introduced that the ninth edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan has been adjusted according to the characteristics of Omicron, mainly emphasizing the concept of “moving the gate forward”.
First, emphasize “four mornings”. It is still necessary to emphasize early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment. He explained that, first of all, in terms of diagnosis, antigen testing is used as an important supplement to nucleic acid testing. “Especially at the level of management and control and at the level of home testing, if it is positive, it will be reviewed immediately, and potential infected people will be identified earlier. To prevent further transmission.”
Second, classified management, The new version of the plan emphasizes the centralized isolation and management of light cases, and it is not necessary to go to designated hospitals. “This aspect is also to free up limited medical resources so that ordinary and severe patients can receive timely and effective treatment.” In addition, the new version of the diagnosis and treatment plan requires that asymptomatic infected persons be isolated at the community level.
In terms of treatment, the new version of the plan adjusts the original expression of “the elderly over 65 years old” to “over 60 years old”, “we have advanced by 5 years, and pay more attention to the elderly group to avoid serious illness and death. In addition, a very important change in the new version of the diagnosis and treatment plan is to incorporate antiviral drugs into the diagnosis and treatment plan. He said that the use of antiviral drugs can effectively reduce seriousness and death. “And we emphasize that in designated hospitals, six high-risk groups, namely the elderly, those with underlying diseases, those with obesity, those with heavy smoking, pregnant women, and those with low immune function, should intervene as soon as possible and use antiviral drugs. “
In addition, the plan should clearly identify the groups at risk of aggravation and identify them in time. “Another point is prevention. We emphasize prevention first, and the use of vaccines is fully reflected in the diagnosis and treatment plan.”
