Objective To analyzethe clinical features of severe or critical 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) patients. Methods Clinical data of 58 patients with severe or critical COVID-19 in Wuhan Union Hospital, Tongji medical college of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 29 to February 26 in 2020 were collected. The general information, clinical symptoms, resultsofblood testand chest computed tomography (CT) imaging, treatments and outcomes of patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results 36 severe cases (62.1%) and 22 critical cases (37.9%) , 28 males (48.3%) and 30 females (51.7%) , with average age of (62.12±12.95) years were enrolled. 48.2% of the patients had underlying disease including Hypertension (21 cases, 36.2%), Diabetes mellitus (11 cases, 19.0%), Coronary heart disease (6 cases,10.3%), Chronic renal failure (2 cases, 3.4%) and Malignant tumor (1 case, 1.7%). The symptoms included fever (54 cases, 93.1%), dyspnea (48 cases, 82.8%),cough (46 cases, 79.3%), muscle soreness (32 cases, 55.2%), sore throat (15 cases, 25.9%) and diarrhea (6 cases, 10.3%). Decreased or increased white blood cell count was found in 12.1% and 10.3% of the patients.Decreased percent of lymphocyte, increased percent of neutrophil, and decreased hemoglobin level were found in 60.3%, 46.6%, and 41.4% of the patientsrespectively. Elevated CRP, PCT and D-dimmer level were demonstrated in 65.5%, 62.1%, and 77.5% of the cases. Increased level of ALT, AST, LDH and decreased serum albumin were found in 55.2%, 43.1%, 67.2% and 74.1% of all the patients respectively.The main features of CT were patchy shadows and ground glass shadows, bilateral and peripheral distribution, consolidation and interlobular septal thickening were found in most of the patient’s lungs. 29 cases (50.0%) were treated with antibiotics, and 14 cases (24.1%) with systemic glucocorticoid. In addition to supportive and antivirustreatment,oxygen therapy methods including nasal catheter (9 cases, 15.5%), oxygen mask (33 cases, 56.9%), high-flow nasal catheter (8 cases, 13.3%) and invasive mechanical ventilation were adopted in 15.5%, 56.9%, 13.3% and 13.3% of the patients. 21 patients (36.2%) had been discharged from the hospital, 27 patients (46.6%) in remission were still in the isolation wards, 3 patients (5.2%) had been to the ICU as the disease got worse, and 7 patients were dead. Conclusions Abouthalfofthe patients with severe/critical COVID-19 had underlying disease. severe/criticalCOVID-19 patients often showed extrapulmonary abnormity as well as lung dysfunction. Comprehensive treatment as early as possibly may be important for prognosis improvement of these patients. Key words: 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia; Clinical features; Disease severity

The prevention and control of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is currently the primary task of all industries in China. People can be infected through respiratory droplets, airborne and close contact. Pediatric airway foreign body is a common otorhinolaryngology emergency, especially occurred in 1 to 3-year-old children. It usually causes complications like airway obstruction, suffocation and pneumonia, which may become an acute threat to life. The common practice in otorhinolaryngology emergency room is to perform direct laryngoscope, bronchoscope and foreign body removal. Medical staff need to be closely contacted with these children during surgical operation, who may produce massive droplets and aerosols during examination. With a combination of characteristics of surgical operation, this article intends to provide advices on diagnosis and treatment of airway foreign body removal for pediatric otorhinolaryngology colleagues during the prevention and control of 2019-nCoV. Adjustments could be made subsequently due to changes of the epidemic situation and the recognition of 2019-nCoV.

Objective To investigate the role of epidemiological history in the screening of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in fever clinic, to improve the efficiency in fever clinic and reduce the incidence of cross infection. Methods This is a retrospective study. Patients who were admitted to the fever clinic in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 23th, 2020 to February 11th, 2020 included the study. According to epidemiological history, the patients were divided into epidemiological history group (the experimental group) and no epidemiological history group (the control group). The two groups of patients were admitted and treated separately. The clinical data, NEWS score, etiology results, viral pneumonia showed on CT, time of visit, COVID-19 patient ratio, and admission composition ratio were compared between the two groups. The measurement data were presented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD), and the numeration data were expressed as ratio or constituent ratio. The measurement data of normal distribution between the two groups were compared by independent sample t test. The measurement data of skewed distribution are expressed by the median (interquartile range), and the comparison between the two groups is tested by non-parameter. The differences between enumeration data were assessed by chi-square test. A P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results A total of 2423 patients were included, including 927 patients in the experimental group and 1296 patients in the control group. There were no significant differences in gender, NEWS score and clinical symptoms between the two groups (P> 0.05). The age (35.00 ± 12.80 vs 38.13 ± 15.57 years) , the proportion of fever patients (28.80% vs 32.75%) and waiting time (31.72 vs 58.08 min) of the experimental group were lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P 0.05). Conclusion It is necessary to adjust the management mode of fever clinic during the Corona Virus Disease 2019, and to manage the patients according to the epidemiological history which can improve the screening efficiency and reduce the risk of cross infection.

The digestive tract is a target organ attacked by COVID-19. It is also the earliest affected organ other than the lung and must bear side effects from the anti-virus chemotherapy such as LPV/r. In this article, we aim to provide practical recommendations for a nutritional and metabolic management strategy for severe corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) patients. These recommendations are based on the newest pathophysiological findings on the risk factors of malnutrition for COVID-19. We also systematically retrieve literatures on nutritional therapy for acute lung injuries from international and Chinese databases according to evidence-based principles. Our suggestions are: 1) Physicians should be mindful of gut injury when they focus on respiratory support, by monitoring and managing the nutritional status; 2) Periodical and dynamic nutritional risk evaluation is needed; 3) For severe patients, the feeding target of calorie and protein should be down-regulated; 4)The using of ω-3 fatty acids products should be in accordance with pharmacological indications; the forms and dosage should be determined individually.

It is also the earliest affected organ other than the lung and must bear side effects from the anti-virus chemotherapy such as LPV/r. In this article, we aim to provide practical recommendations for a nutritional and metabolic management strategy for severe corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) patients. These recommendations are based on the newest pathophysiological findings on the risk factors of malnutrition for COVID-19. We also systematically retrieve literatures on nutritional therapy for acute lung injuries from international and Chinese databases according to evidence-based principles. Our suggestions are: 1) Physicians should be mindful of gut injury when they focus on respiratory support, by monitoring and managing the nutritional status; 2) Periodical and dynamic nutritional risk evaluation is needed; 3) For severe patients, the feeding target of calorie and protein should be down-regulated; 4)The using of ω-3 fatty acids products should be in accordance with pharmacological indications; the forms and dosage should be determined individually. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19); critical illness; nutritional risk; nutritional support; energy; protein; ω-3 fatty acids","PeriodicalId":9981,"journal":{"name":"中华急诊医学杂志","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45864324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
