[FONT=&quot] Recently, in the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou City, medical staff are saving a 59-year-old female patient who has developed severe pneumonia due to influenza.
The patient had a fever and fever for a week, and after the anti-infective treatment, the situation has not been alleviated. After a few days, sudden respiratory distress, persistent high fever, and gradually developed into respiratory failure.
Considering that the patient's severe pneumonia continues to worsen, various serious complications may occur. After consultation with various specialists in the hospital, the rescue team of the MDT team in the emergency department, vascular surgery and respiratory department was quickly formed.
After an expert emergency joint consultation, it was decided to perform in vitro membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment on site.
The patient is still not out of danger.

Director Xu Ziqiang of the First People's Hospital of Cangzhou City introduced:
The symptoms of the flu have many similarities with the common cold, such as salivation, stuffy nose, cough, cough, headache, body aches, fatigue, tonsil enlargement, etc. Some patients may also have gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
But the flu does not equal the common cold. Severe flu can cause persistent high fever, dyspnea, pulmonary hemorrhage, pleural effusion, systemic cytopenia, renal failure, sepsis, shock and other multi-organ function injuries. Failure to treat can be life-threatening.
Therefore, when the symptoms of influenza occur, it should be given high priority, as early as possible, the detection of H1 influenza A virus nucleic acid and other necessary examinations to avoid the development of severe cases.
