On the afternoon of January 9, the State Council held a press conference on the joint prevention and control mechanism, the theme of which was “Introduction of the 10th edition of the treatment plan”. Comrades in charge of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health Commission, the Medical Secretary of the State Bureau of Traditional Chinese Medicine, comrades in charge of relevant medical institutions and experts attended.

Xinhua News Agency reporter asked: We noticed that in the 10th edition of the plan, the common type was eliminated and the medium type was added to the treatment plan. What is the significance and role of this change in clinical practice?

Guo Yanhong, director of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said that as the virus continues to mutate, especially the currently prevalent Omicron mutant strain, its viral pathogenicity is gradually weakening, and the clinical features of the disease have also undergone significant and obvious changes, as we can see that most infections are upper respiratory tract infections, and the proportion of pneumonia has been significantly reduced. Therefore, in order to better reflect the characteristics of the disease, we have adjusted the clinical typing in the tenth edition of the treatment plan, eliminating the common type and adding medium-sized.

Guo Yanhong introduced, the definition of medium-sized is persistent hyperthermia greater than three days, in the static breathing state, the air direct oxygen saturation greater than 93%, imaging can be seen in the characteristic new coronavirus infection pneumonia performance, but it is heavy, oxygen saturation less than 93% of the degree of light, we classify this type of cases as medium-sized. As you can see the adjustment of the tenth edition of the treatment plan is based on the severity of the infected person’s condition into light, medium, heavy and critical, more in line with the clinical situation, but also conducive to medical personnel for the patient’s disease for a comprehensive study and judgment, and according to the condition to give a comprehensive treatment measures, should be for the entire virus changes and changes in clinical characteristics, the original typing has been improved.
