How to protect the treatment of severe patients? Advanced equipment is constantly sent to key areas

Novel coronavirus pneumonia is a difficult and a pressing matter of the moment. Advanced medical equipment provides strong support for medical staff to fully treat patients and plays a crucial role.

Ventilator, extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) At present, a set of sophisticated equipment has been sent to Wuhan and other key epidemic areas in Hubei Province, striving to save the lives of critically ill patients.

Mao Qun'an, head of the planning department of the National Health Commission, said the equipment was quickly mobilized through various ways, such as carrying it with the medical teams in Hubei Province, emergency recruitment from all over the country and emergency procurement around the world. Under the premise that each province undertakes its own emergency treatment task and is short of its own equipment, as long as there is a need in front of it, under one command, each region quickly deploys, and in a very short time, it can meet the use of Wuhan front.

The novel coronavirus pneumonia ECMO can provide respiratory support for critically ill patients. The new crown pneumonia diagnosis and treatment plan is clear that it can be salvaged for severe or severe cases with poor conventional treatment.

In novel coronavirus pneumonia, Luo Junjie, director of the Ministry of industry and information technology, introduced in February 27th, the Central Committee should work together with the leading group of the new crown pneumonia outbreak to mobilize ECMO and other equipment from the whole country to support Hubei. In recent period, 67 ECMO equipment were sent to Hubei Province through emergency procurement, transfer and assistance to Hubei medical team. "We are urgently coordinating to send another batch of ECMO from abroad to Wuhan, Hubei Province."

Mao Qun'an said that in the next step, the national health and Health Commission will, in accordance with the requirements of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, do a good job of demand docking with relevant units, ensure the supply of medical equipment, especially critical medical equipment, and accurately and reasonably allocate the equipment to relevant medical institutions.

Insufficient supply of drugs? α - interferon, detection kit and other varieties can meet the needs

Drug research and clinical application are the key to improve the cure rate and reduce the death rate. Related drugs are necessary for epidemic prevention and treatment, and play an irreplaceable role in relieving symptoms.

Combined with the novel coronavirus pneumonia treatment plan and the suggestions of the experts, the Ministry of industry and Commerce has carried out daily dynamic monitoring of the production, sale and inventory of 30 key drugs and over 70 kinds of Chinese herbal pieces.

"Key varieties such as interferon alpha, hormone drugs and detection kits can meet the needs of the first line in Hubei at present. The production of traditional Chinese medicine pieces is relatively normal and the stock is relatively sufficient. " Cao Xuejun, deputy director of the consumer goods industry department of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said.

"Since the Spring Festival, the Ministry of industry and information technology has actively coordinated the resumption of work and production of API and pharmaceutical enterprises, and solved the practical difficulties in personnel travel, raw material supply and transportation during the resumption of work and production." Taking chloroquine phosphate and abidol as examples, Cao Xuejun introduced that at present, six enterprises have resumed the production of chloroquine phosphate, and the market supply is relatively sufficient. There are 150000 people of chloroquine phosphate transported to Hubei, and the production of abidol has also returned to normal, which can meet the needs of clinical use.

Cao Xuejun said that in the next step, we will actively coordinate the supply and demand of all kinds of anti epidemic drugs, pay close attention to the research progress of specific therapeutic drugs, and work with relevant departments to do a good job in production connection with the use needs of Hubei Province and other provinces and cities.

Enough medical supplies? From shortage to balance supply and demand

Mao Qun'an said that in the early stage of the epidemic, medical equipment in Hubei was in short supply, and the balance between supply and demand had been achieved. With the joint efforts of all parties, there is basically no "human and other equipment" situation.

According to reports, as of March 3, the key monitoring enterprises of the Ministry of industry and information technology have provided about 65000 sets of medical equipment for Hubei, especially Wuhan, including 14000 non-invasive ventilators, more than 2900 invasive ventilators and more than 15000 ECG monitors. In addition, 25 provinces and cities, 31 key enterprises and more than 2000 supporting parts enterprises returned to work on time, effectively ensuring the normal operation of the industrial chain of medical equipment.

It is an important factor to plan as a whole and strengthen prediction. In response, Luo Junjie said that since late January, the Ministry of industry and information technology has organized enterprises, associations and experts to sort out the main medical equipment that may be used, set up a database covering 38 kinds of medical equipment and more than 200 key enterprises, and arranged special personnel to track the production inventory and resumption of production of various products.

"The production and supply of protective clothing has changed from being in short supply to being able to meet the demand. Every day we coordinate to ensure that the number of protective clothing in Hubei reaches 250000, which has exceeded the demand of Hubei for more than ten days in a row. " Cao Xuejun said.
