March 20, Chuzhou go to Nanjing where Mr. Han, 35-year-old, still in Southeast University Zhongda Hospital for treatment, at any time of danger. Early contact with 13 of the patients, medical staff, medical observation, were not unusual.

          The latest

          Condition is still critical hospital has advanced 300,000

          Chuzhou 35-year-old Mr. Han, incidence March 15, in critical condition, Nanjing, Jiangsu active treatment. Modern Express reporter learned that, Zhongshan University Hospital intensive care unit staff took on the task of the treatment of this patient. On the evening of March 20, the patient reaches the large hospitals to yesterday, the entire rescue process has been going on for 18 days.

          The large hospital Critical Care Medicine, deputy chief physician Guofeng Mei said, now live in the isolation ward of the Hospital of Zhongshan University, Mr. Han covered inserted seventy-eight of tube, to sustain life.

          "H7N9 virus detection became negative, but the the virus lung damage has actually exists, the condition is not as negative results and improved." Guofeng Mei revealed that more than 10 days, the patient has in fact been a bit conscious, but view from a chest X-ray, the cells of patients with lung tissue damage, under normal circumstances, so the lungs the cell reversal rehabilitation more difficult. The cost of treatment is very huge. Reporter has learned that the big hospitals for patients total advance of about 30 million.

          Where details

          Danger at any time to adjust the treatment program

          24 hours of intensive care of the health care team of more than 10 people

          Guofeng Mei is the first Mr. Han admissions physicians, is also in close contact with one. She recalled that the treatment of patients in Anhui, and the family began to contact with large hospitals require referral from Anhui to large hospitals.

          "We take into account the patient's condition is serious, so go with a ventilator and drugs." Guofeng Mei said. Patients to Nanjing, immediately under the leadership of our famous severe medical experts, Zhongshan University Hospital Professor Qiu Haibo, director of Critical Care Medicine, to carry out rescue work.

          The experts say that, due to the patient in critical condition, the treatment process and danger, doctors always monitor changes in condition, continuously adjust the treatment measures.

          According to reports, more than a dozen of the health care team, 24-hour intensive care. Monitoring, respectively, such as heart rate, blood pressure, pulse rate and oxygen saturation should always be concerned about the patient's issues such as nutrition, infection, and even if there were sputum in the respiratory tract, must also be the first time to know and deal with. "

          Medical staff stood by at the patient's bedside, ready to respond to a variety of rescue and care, out of the isolation ward, often drenched in sweat.

          Quest ward

          Negative pressure rooms, air not only into

          In the new ward building of large hospitals, a new highest level of negative pressure isolation ward. In late March, when the country confirm Mr. Han infected with avian influenza, she was transferred to the ward treatment.

          General condition good hospital, has a positive pressure wards and negative pressure rooms. The barotropic ward leukemia transplant patients using air wards through the layers of filter has no bacteria. Negative pressure rooms, the air is "not only enter".

          It is reported that the negative pressure rooms is an important condition for the treatment of patients with severe respiratory infectious diseases can only set the negative pressure wards of hospitals, particularly emphasized that the World Health Organization, the provisions of the rescue SARS patients. Although H7N9 is still no evidence that infect humans, but there is no doubt that in a negative pressure wards treatment is the safest. Lower than the air pressure outside the ward, the air pressure in the negative pressure wards outside fresh air can flow into the ward, the ward patients contaminated air does not leak out, but emissions to a fixed place in a timely manner through a dedicated channel. If you want to enter the isolation ward, the medical staff must be "all armed.

          Dialogue

          Modern Express: As health care workers, in the face of the mood of the avian flu nervous?

          Guofeng Mei: This virus is also no evidence that human-to-human transmission, and hospitals strictly do all kinds of protective isolation and infection management prevention and control work, therefore, not nervous. And early contact with the staff of the patient after medical observation, and no abnormality was found.

          Modern Express: the beginning that patients will not infect you?

          Guofeng Mei: In fact, as medical staff, this is the career risk, which is no way to do. When I pick up patients only know one patients with pneumonia do not know the infection is not contagious, just wearing a mask and do a little simple protection.

          Modern Express: The patient and the doctor said then?

          Guofeng Mei: In fact, the patient has been a bit conscious, but because of endotracheal intubation and treatment when we must use a sedative drug, and the patient has no way to communicate with the medical staff.
