Chapter 836 Suggested Chinese Medicine
Qian Xiaolin was indeed relieved when he learned that the patient was h7n9. Before the patient was diagnosed, what he feared the most was the emergence of a new infection virus.
h7n9 is a type of avian influenza. It was first discovered in Shanghai and Hai'an at the end of March 2013. It is a sporadic infectious disease.
Sporadicity refers to scattered medical records and there is no large-scale infection. Because h7n9 avian flu has been around for several years, Qian Xiaolin still has some understanding of this virus.
This avian influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by a new subtype of virus infection. The main transmission route is respiratory transmission. Once the avian secretions and excrement contaminated by avian influenza virus are inhaled, it is easy to be infected with avian influenza. Some patients eat undercooked and uncooked poultry food. At this time, these avian foods just carry avian influenza virus and are also easily infected with h7n9 avian influenza.
So far, although there is no vaccine for h7n9, there has never been a human-to-human transmission. This is why Qian Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief.
The unknown is always more terrifying than the known.
It is known that no matter how terrible it is, at least doctors already have corresponding response plans, how to protect and how to deal with it. If it is unknown, it will really make people fumbling.
Even if this unknown virus is not contagious, any protective measures will not be excessive before it is clarified.
Qian Xiaolin heard that a new mutant virus infected with a new type of mutant virus appeared in the Jiangzhou Provincial Medical Affiliated Hospital in the first half of the year. At that time, the emergency department of the Jiangzhou Provincial Medical Affiliated Hospital was temporarily closed, and it was closed for 11 days.
As for how Jiangzhou Provincial Medical Affiliated Hospital ultimately responded, Qian Xiaolin did not have an in-depth understanding and was not very clear about it.
Just as he was thinking, Qian Xiaolin suddenly thought that Fang Han was from Jiangzhong City and asked: "Xiao Fang, you have infected people with a new mutant virus in the affiliated hospital of Jiangzhou Medical University in the past six months. Do you know this?"
"I know."
Fang Han said: "I was in the Affiliated Hospital at that time."
"Are you there?" Qian Xiaolin was stunned. He really didn't know about this.
Although Fang Han's name was published on Jiangzhou Daily at that time, Jiangzhou Daily was just a newspaper from local provinces and did not belong to a special national medical newspaper. Qian Xiaolin was not aware of it.
"I was responsible for the treatment at that time." Fang Han said.
Qian Xiaolin's mouth opened slightly.
Although he was not clear about the specific process, he knew the result. It is said that the new mutant virus discovered at that time was a virus similar to SARS. It was very transmissible and had a very high mortality rate. The International Health Organization only found infected people in Saudi Arabia and other places.
However, the several infected patients found by the Medical Affiliated Hospital were all discharged from the hospital. The cure rate was 100%. Unexpectedly, Fang Han was responsible for the treatment.
"Director Qian, the patient's wife is here and I want to see you."
Qian Xiaolin was still a little confused. Wang Haobo had already walked in. He had just been in charge of notifying the hospital infection and asking about the patient's family.
h7n9At present, although the known infection route is poultry, since the hospital has discovered an infected person, it is still necessary to understand the source of the patient's infection. If infected poultry appear near Yanjing, the relevant departments must do a good job to avoid more people from being infected.
"The patient's wife?" Qian Xiaolin was stunned for a moment.
"The patient's wife is Director Mei of the Medical University Hospital." Wang Haobo added.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Qian Xiaolin said something, and the other party Han explained twice, then left the rescue room.
A middle-aged woman in her forty-five years old was standing at the door outside the rescue room.
"Director Mei."
Qian Xiaolin walked out of the rescue room and saw the other party at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Director Qian." Mei Shuqin hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand.
Qian Xiaolin and Mei Shuqin shook hands and said, "I didn't expect the patient to be Director Mei's lover."
"Director Qian."
Mei Shuqin was very polite and asked: "I heard that my wife has been diagnosed. Is it h7n9?"
"Well, it has been confirmed, the nucleic acid test result has come out and it is positive." Qian Xiaolin nodded.
Mei Shuqin is the deputy director of the respiratory department of a medical hospital. She is considered an expert in this area, so she naturally knows what h7n9 means.
Although this disease is a sporadic disease, it has acute onset and symptoms of respiratory infection such as fever and cough in the early stages of the disease. Severe pneumonia-related symptoms such as dyspnea appear 5-7 days onset, and it will worsen progressively. Some cases can rapidly develop into acute respiratory distress syndrome and die.
Mei Shuqin had heard Wang Haobo say that his lover was sent to the emergency department of Yanjing Hospital because of emergency respiratory distress.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome occurs, which is quite serious.
"Director Qian, I wonder if I can participate in the treatment?" Mei Shuqin asked.
"Director Mei is an expert in respiratory diseases. With Director Mei participating in the treatment, I welcome it too late." Qian Xiaolin agreed.
If it were other doctors, Qian Xiaolin would naturally ignore it. Doctors from non-Yanjing Hospital participated in the treatment. Who is responsible for any incident?
But Mei Shuqin is different. On the one hand, Qian Xiaolin and Mei Shuqin know each other and know that Mei Shuqin is an expert in respiratory diseases. Second, Mei Shuqin is a patient's family member. Third, a major medical hospital is also a top 3-grade hospital comparable to Yanjing Hospital. Mei Shuqin, the deputy director of the respiratory department, has a very big reputation.
"Thank you, Director Qian." Mei Shuqin hurriedly thanked.
As a doctor, Mei Shuqin understands all the rules that should be understood. Qian Xiaolin agrees to her participate in the treatment, which is a favor.
"Director Mei is welcome."
Qian Xiaolin was polite and said to Wang Haobo: "Get Director Mei a mask."
Wang Haobo hurriedly brought a mask for Mei Shuqin and asked Mei Shuqin to wear it, then he entered the emergency room.
In the rescue room, Fang Han was observing the patient's condition.
Fang Han has long heard of the new avian influenza disease, but this is the first time he has encountered such a patient. Although traditional Chinese medicine does not stick to the names of some diseases in Western medicine, the severity of certain diseases and changes in the condition are still helpful for doctors to refer to.
This disease is onset and the risk is high for severe patients. Fang Han is still clear about it, so he is also very cautious.
After entering the ward, Mei Shuqin hurriedly walked forward and looked at her lover.
The patient is now in combination with oxygen therapy, and has a few drips and breathing frequency is relatively fast.
Mei Shuqin looked at her lover's situation and asked Qian Xiaolin: "How does Director Qian plan to treat her?"
"Director Mei has any suggestions?" Qian Xiaolin did not answer, but asked back.
"If possible, I hope traditional Chinese medicine will participate in the treatment." Mei Shuqin said.
As an expert in respiratory diseases, Mei Shuqin not only knows this disease very well, but also has personally treated such patients.
According to the currently known cases, generally speaking, the prognosis of severe patients with h7n9 avian influenza is not good.
Although the mortality rate of h7n9 avian influenza is lower than that of h5n1 avian influenza, the mortality rate of h7n9 is 60%, and the mortality rate of h7n9 is 20%.
However, the prognosis of patients with avian influenza is generally not optimistic, and the probability of sequelae may be left after treatment is very high, such as respiratory insufficiency, and even long-term oxygen replacement is required. Some may also retain nephritis, brain insufficiency, brain cell death, etc.
As an expert in respiratory diseases and a family member of the patient, Mei Shuqin has to consider not only treatment, but also prognosis.
Qian Xiaolin nodded after hearing this, and said, "I agree with Director Mei's opinion very much."
As he said that, Qian Xiaolin waved to Fang Han and said to Mei Shuqin: "Director Mei, I will introduce you to Dr. Fang Hanfang, an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, has rich experience in treating similar respiratory diseases."
If it were before, Qian Xiaolin might not have said that, but when he learned that Fang Han was the main subject of the incident at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangzhou Medical University, Qian Xiaolin had actually decided to hand over the patient to Fang Han for treatment just now.
Although the infected patients found at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangzhou Medical University are mutant viruses, they are not infected with the same virus as the n7n9 patients this time, they are both respiratory diseases. They actually have many similarities in terms of onset and symptoms.
In layman's terms, they all belong to patients with pulmonary inflammation.
And from a certain perspective, the infected patients in the Affiliated Hospital are even more serious.
Since Fang Han can cure infected patients in the Affiliated Hospital, the patient in front of him should be able to solve it.
As for the authenticity of what Fang Han said.
Based on Qian Xiaolin's understanding of Fang Han, Fang Han would never lie about such things.
Moreover, with Fang Han's ability, he did not need to take on other people's credit.
"Xiao Fang, this is Director Mei Shuqinmei from the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Yanjing Medical University. Director Mei is an expert in respiratory diseases and also the patient's lover."
"Hello Director Mei." Fang Han nodded politely to Mei Shuqin.
"Hello Dr. Fang."
Mei Shuqin nodded, but her expression was a little confused.
What happened to Qian Xiaolin? He introduced her to such a young doctor?
The reason why Mei Shuqin suggested that traditional Chinese medicine participate in the treatment was, on the one hand, that she did know the prognosis of the disease, and on the other hand, that she knew the level of several traditional Chinese medicine experts at Yanjing Hospital.
If this is another hospital, Mei Shuqin is really not at ease with traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a good prognosis and few complications. This is a fact, but this disease is definitely not something that any Chinese medicine doctor can treat.
Mei Shuqin won't joke about her lover's life.
If you choose between prognosis and life, Mei Shuqin will naturally choose life without hesitation.
"Director Qian, Dr. Fang, the decoction is here."
Mei Shuqin was still stunned, and the nurse was already carrying the boiled soup.
"I'll take a look."
Fang Han walked up to take the decoction, tested the properties of the medicine, and then said, "Feed the patient."
"etc......."
Mei Shuqin hurriedly stopped.
What are these and what, is this medicine?
Where is Tan Guangping, Du Yuntao, and Xue Wenhui?
