Hunan Daily reported on December 21 (all-media reporter Zhang Chunxiang, correspondent Liu Xiaoyi, Peng Lu) Tumor patients are affected by tumor diseases or radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments, and their body immunity is low. In the encounter with the new coronavirus, they are a susceptible group, and the risk is much higher than that of healthy people. Today, reporters learned from the Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital that the hospital has opened a fever clinic and a positive outpatient area to protect cancer patients.
Go to the hospital to draw blood, check an electrocardiogram, find a doctor to write a bill, and make an appointment for treatment... As a nasopharyngeal cancer patient, Mr. Chen (pseudonym) has to go through this process every two weeks. Since he needs to be admitted to the hospital regularly, he has to always pay attention to the announcements issued by the Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital’s official account to learn about the latest admission requirements. Since the latest policy was announced at the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism press conference on December 9, many hospitals have begun to treat -positive patients. However, Mr. Chen and other cancer patients were not relieved, but worried.
In response to the urgent medical needs of cancer patients, Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital coordinates epidemic prevention and control and medical service guarantees, optimizes the patient treatment process, and meets patient needs by increasing online diagnosis and treatment, telephone consultation, etc., and maximizing the availability of medical resources. At the same time, we strictly implemented the requirements of our superiors and overcame difficulties such as insufficient space and personnel. In just 2 days, we set up a fever clinic and an outpatient positive diagnosis area in a standardized manner by building container room , with a total area of 300 square meters. In order to facilitate patients to find a familiar doctor, a special remote clinic is also set up in the positive diagnosis area of the outpatient clinic. All patients should be admitted and treated strictly, and patients should not be shirk-passed or refused to be diagnosed. The process of fever clinics and positive diagnosis areas has been continuously smoothed, a rapid response mechanism has been established, and the time to visit fever patients with typical symptoms of COVID-19 has been continuously shortened.
After hearing that the Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital had opened a positive diagnosis area, Mr. Chen said: "Tumor patients have a weak physical foundation and it is difficult to resist the virus . Treatments with radiotherapy and chemotherapy have strict cycle intervals. I used to worry that treatment would be interrupted if I became 'positive', but now I can breathe a sigh of relief."
It is reported that the current fever clinic and positive diagnosis area set up by the Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital mainly provide diagnosis and treatment, nucleic acid testing and other services for tumor fever patients and their families. The positive diagnosis area is open during clinic working hours, and the fever clinic is open 24 hours a day and is equipped with facilities such as oxygen inhalation, monitoring, blood collection, infusion, and conventional drugs. Currently, in the positive clinic area, there are 4 clinics, 2 observation rooms, and 1 remote consultation room open. Doctors and nurses with clinical experience who actively signed up are responsible for receiving and on duty to ensure that the medical resources in the clinic area are sufficient. Some of the medical staff who have been infected have always stayed on the front line. At the same time, administrative staff with relevant qualifications in the hospital actively participate in the nucleic acid sampling class, and all staff in the new coronavirus laboratory are on standby to ensure the normal operation of the nucleic acid sampling and testing work.
