Li Shuhua's work phone has hardly been disconnected these two days. As the director of the pediatric internal medicine clinic and fever clinic of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Women and Children's Center"), she was very busy because of the obvious increase in the number of children with fever coming to see her. On the 13th, the reporter visited three hospitals in Guangzhou and found that the number of fever outpatient visits in the current hospital has increased significantly, but it has not reached the peak in the past. Among them, many patients go to the clinic to do antigen testing or nucleic acid testing, open a note or buy cold medicine. Experts call for young people without basic diseases to observe and treat at home and leave the limited fever outpatient resources to the severely ill elderly, pregnant women and children. Li Li, the director of the emergency department of the South Hospital of Sun Yat sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat sen University, has made adequate plans to deal with the coming infection peak. After finishing her work these days, it is often nearly three o'clock in the afternoon and she can't even eat lunch. She said that the increase in outpatient volume started on December 8, when the number of door-to-door visits increased from more than 100 to more than 300, and it is expected that the number of outpatient visits will reach a peak around the 15th. The number of fever clinics in Guangzhou No. 12 Hospital also increased significantly. Lan Fen, the temporary head of the fever clinic of the 12th People's Hospital of Guangzhou, said that the number of visits from the fever clinic of the hospital on the 13th was three times that of a week or two ago. In Guangzhou Women and Children's Center, the daily outpatient volume has increased from 400 person times to 1000 person times, which only took three days. Li Shuhua said that the number of visits to fever clinics in pediatrics department increased significantly in the last two days of the weekend, but it was far from reaching the number of visits to influenza peak this summer. On June 22 of this year, the number of visits to the general fever clinic in Guangzhou Women and Children's Center reached a peak of 2573. Although it is estimated that the peak of outpatient and emergency care in Guangzhou has not yet arrived, hospitals have made adequate preparations to deal with the possible situation in the future. First, expand the fever clinic. The reporter learned that at present, there are 4 fever clinics in the south area of Sun Yat sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat sen University. If the number of patients continues to rise, 2 new fever clinics will be opened. And Guangzhou Maternity and Children Pearl River New Town Hospital District Fever Clinic will also add 6 consulting rooms. The second is to increase the number of staff. Li Shuhua said that according to the hospital's plan, if the number of patients in the fever clinic exceeded 1500, the first level early warning would be launched, and more physicians would be transferred to the fever clinic "in three shifts". At the same time, administrative personnel would be volunteers to support triage and guide patients, so as to shorten the waiting time of patients as much as possible. Lan Fen said that the 12th People's Hospital of Guangzhou City has prepared to invest three times of its manpower in fever clinics to ensure 24-hour non-stop diagnosis, and has also reserved enough drugs to ensure that patients have drugs available. The positive rate of fever clinic patients diagnosed and treated according to antigen results is high. How to shorten the waiting time of patients and reduce cross infection in fever clinic? On December 13, Guangzhou issued the latest guidelines for medical treatment. Fever patients with positive antigens and stable conditions do not need nucleic acid testing. In fact, this measure began to be implemented in hospitals in Guangzhou two days ago. Li Shuhua introduced that after entering the fever clinic of the hospital, parents need to take reagents from the antigen testing place to the outdoor open place for rapid screening, and the screening will be completed in 5-10 minutes
