What should the elderly pay attention to when entering the cabin? This is an important issue worthy of in-depth study, which is related to the rational and scientific management and control of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic. With the advent of my country’s aging society, comprehensive and comprehensive care (medical, nursing, and health) for the elderly of the silver-haired ethnic group is a social reality that requires special attention in my country at this stage, and it is also a full manifestation of the superiority of my country’s social system and the modernization of the governance system. However, to truly meet the practical needs of the silver-haired people in our country, such as “the old can take care of the old, the old can do something, the old can have a doctor, and the old can take care of it” and other practical needs, and many specific tasks need to be comprehensively and solidly advanced.
my country has a large population base and a huge number of elderly people. By 2025, the number of elderly people over 60 years old will reach more than 300 million. Based on the current situation of the repeated spread of the new coronavirus pneumonia in some regions of my country, a scientific and effective prevention and control system should be tailored for the elderly population as soon as possible, especially the control and service for the elderly and critically ill patients, is the key to winning the epidemic.
Among them, the population with the highest fatality rate is precisely the elderly patients with serious underlying diseases. Severely ill patients who are positive for COVID-19 should be managed and controlled rationally and with a scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts. They should also be assessed in different stages, rationally screened, and given individualized treatment, so as to build an efficient diagnosis and treatment of common and frequently-occurring diseases in elderly patients as soon as possible. The “double-pass diagnosis and treatment” mode of parallel diagnosis and treatment of new coronavirus pneumonia. Suggestions:
1. For elderly people infected with COVID-19 in high-risk areas, if they do not have effective home isolation conditions, they can take care of themselves, and they are voluntary, and their underlying diseases are relatively stable, they can choose Go to the shelter hospital for isolation treatment;
2. In high-risk areas, elderly people with multiple serious underlying diseases (patients with unstable or end-stage underlying diseases), abnormal chest X-rays and persistent fever (i.e. strong source of infection) new coronavirus pneumonia infected persons should go to Fangcang shelter hospitals for isolation and treatment;
3. In high-risk areas, it is difficult to achieve home isolation in the community due to multiple reasons. If the care conditions do not affect the diagnosis and treatment of the original underlying diseases, they can go to the Fangcang shelter hospital for isolation and treatment;
IV. A dual-channel evaluation system for the diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients with basic diseases and new coronary pneumonia, supporting the makeshift hospitals with the diagnosis and treatment function of primary elderly patients with multiple basic diseases; The double fatality rate of viral pneumonia and elderly patients with serious underlying diseases will reduce the run on medical resources such as common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases (including emergency departments) in the diagnosis and treatment of new coronavirus pneumonia.
