[Reporter Cai Shuyuan/Taichung Report]The local Wuhan pneumonia epidemic is heating up. Xie Zongxue, director of the Children’s Emergency Department of Zhongshan Medical Affiliated Hospital, pointed out that since the week after Mother’s Day, the number of patients suffering from new coronary pneumonia in the pediatric emergency room has increased rapidly, and most of them are under 3 years old. The children who went to the kindergarten were infected. After asking about the contact history, it was found that almost all of them were infected by adults in the family, and family members, including the patients themselves, had never been infected with the new crown pneumonia. This wave of epidemics can be said to have done a good job of protection in the past 3 years The “chosen ones” were picked out one by one, and the groups that had not been naturally infected were swept away, emphasizing that “there are no chosen people, it’s just that the time has not yet come!”
Xie Zongxue pointed out that in addition to Wuhan pneumonia, influenza has also been rampant recently, most of which are type A influenza, and sporadic type B influenza is gradually appearing, as well as enterovirus, adenovirus, human metapneumonia virus, parainfluenza virus, rhinovirus, etc. They also emerge in endlessly. The common characteristics of these viruses can cause children to have high fever, resulting in overcrowding of children’s emergency departments, and the waiting time for hospitalization has greatly increased. The general pediatric ward with a bed rate of 100% every day has long been overwhelmed. Patients even began to be admitted to wards of other departments.
Xie Zongxue reminded that as long as the number of children with infectious diseases increases, the number of possible severe complications will also increase simultaneously. The increase in serious complications such as myocarditis, encephalitis, and sepsis will challenge Taiwan’s children’s acute and severe illness capacity.
Xie Zongxue said that once the number of sick children increases, the number of outpatient and emergency visits will increase, followed by an increase in the number of hospitalizations. Once the bed occupancy rate of the ward is so high that there are no beds available, the patients will end up in the observation area of the children’s emergency department, and the pediatric emergency room will become an epidemic prevention. The line of defense when various viruses run rampant.
Xie Zongxue added that if faced with a large number of patients, only skilled pediatric emergency physicians and nurses can quickly and accurately deal with them properly. Unfortunately, there are very few physicians and nurses who can stay in children’s emergency departments for a long time. Every time I learn to hold a meeting, there are old faces, and there are very few young and new blood; the nurses are often unable to take care of the family because they cannot take care of the family, and the talents continue to lose blood; There is nothing to say, except to save costs or save costs.
The children’s emergency department in many hospitals can survive because of the blood of a group of people. However, there is no perfect system operation, and it is questioned how long it can last with blood.
