Feeling anxious and chest tight after taking Yangkang? Official release of treatment plan →

On the 9th, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on the 10th edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan. Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health Commission and deputy director of the Publicity Department, said that medical treatment is the top priority of the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic, and it is important to focus on moving the diagnosis and treatment checkpoints forward and treating critically ill patients.

New version of the diagnosis and treatment plan

Further enriching diagnostic and treatment methods

Guo Yanhong, director of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health Commission, introduced that the positive antigen test for the new coronavirus has been included in the diagnostic criteria. The main consideration is that the antigen test has a very good detection sensitivity for those infected with high viral loads. Especially with the continuous optimization and maturity of antigen detection technology, the detection rate of new coronavirus infected people, especially those with high viral loads, is relatively high. At the same time, antigen testing is very convenient and easy to use, which makes it convenient for infected people to self-test at home.

In terms of clinical treatment, the National Health Commission has fully drawn on the valuable experience gained over the past three years. First, it has strengthened the forward movement of checkpoints; second, it has further standardized the treatment of critical illnesses; third, it has insisted on combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine; and fourth, it has further strengthened the concept of co-governance of new coronavirus infection and underlying diseases.

Why did the common type of clinical classification be cancelled?

Increase medium

Guo Yanhong explained that the definition of moderate type is continuous high fever for more than 3 days, oxygen saturation of the finger when breathing air at rest is greater than 93%, and imaging shows characteristic manifestations of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, but it is lighter than severe type, that is, oxygen saturation is less than 93%, so this type of case is classified as moderate type. She said that the adjustment of the tenth edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan is based on the severity of the infected person's condition, divided into mild, moderate, severe and critical types, which is more in line with clinical reality. After the adjustment of clinical classification, it is also more conducive to medical staff to comprehensively judge the patient's condition and provide comprehensive treatment measures.

Why are the high-risk groups over 60 years old?

Adjusted to 65 years and above

The age criteria for determining severe and critical high-risk groups in the tenth edition of the diagnosis and treatment plan was changed from over 60 years old in the ninth edition to over 65 years old.
In this regard, Wang Guiqiang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Peking University First Hospital, explained that in clinical practice, it was indeed found that people over 65 years old with underlying diseases, especially those who have not been vaccinated, have a higher rate of severe and critical illness. This phenomenon has also been found in clinical practice, so this time the diagnosis and treatment plan has been fine-tuned. "Whether it is 60 or 65 years old, we must emphasize that people with underlying diseases and those who have not been vaccinated need more attention." Wang Guiqiang said that he hopes to include these high-risk groups in clinical practice, intervene and observe early, and transfer them to higher-level hospitals for further treatment in a timely manner when problems are found, so as to minimize the risk of severe illness and death.

Regarding the discomfort after "Yang Kang",

Three treatment options are proposed

Liu Qingquan, president of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated to Capital Medical University, mentioned that every patient is very concerned about the discomfort after "Yang Kang". The tenth edition of the plan proposed three treatment plans based on the clinical characteristics of the Omicron variant. He introduced that first, for fatigue accompanied by weak spleen and stomach function, the classic prescription Liujunzi Decoction was provided for treatment; second, for fatigue accompanied by sweating, palpitations and chest tightness, classic prescriptions such as Adenophora Ophiopogonis Decoction and Bamboo Leaf Gypsum Decoction were recommended; third, for the most common cough and less sputum, the plan recommended Shegan Mahuang Decoction. Liu Qingquan said that the tenth edition of the plan pays great attention to the many discomforts after the nucleic acid and antigen turn negative, especially more suitable for rehabilitation treatment after the infection of the Omicron variant turns negative.
