Novel coronavirus pneumonia is an acute infectious pneumonia caused by a newly discovered coronavirus infection in humans. It is highly contagious and the main transmission routes are respiratory transmission and contact transmission. After being infected with the new coronavirus, the patient has a certain incubation period. The latest research results are 24 days, ranging from 1 to 14 days, usually 3 to 7 days, and they are infectious during the incubation period. After the incubation period, patients often develop fever, fatigue, dry cough and other clinical symptoms. The condition often worsens after a week, with dyspnea, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and even respiratory distress. In severe cases, it can rapidly progress to sepsis and septic shock. , Coagulation dysfunction and renal failure, etc., severe and critical patients may have moderate to low fever, or even no obvious fever. Mild patients showed only low fever, mild fatigue, etc., no symptoms of pneumonia, and improved after more than a week. A small number of patients present with nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, , abdominal pain, diarrhea and other digestive symptoms.
Currently, there is a lack of specific treatment drugs for this disease, mainly isolation treatment and symptomatic support treatment. Patients need to stay in bed, ensure sufficient heat and water and electrolyte balance, and closely monitor vital signs. Patients with hypoxia and dyspnea should be given oxygen If necessary, give non-invasive or invasive ventilator support. According to current case studies, most patients have a good prognosis, children and young people have mild symptoms, and severe cases are more common in the elderly and people with underlying diseases.
