Worry about the sequelae of the "long new crown" after contracting the epidemic? Dr. Gu Shiji pointed out that the epidemic situation in Taiwan is about 3 to 6 months slower than that of foreign countries, and the number of cases last year was also relatively small. A large number of patients reported that the phenomenon of "long-term new crown" has not yet occurred. However, judging from the current foreign reports, confirmed patients do complain of subjective descriptions such as easy fatigue, brain fog, and shortness of breath when walking. How to define and track the "long new crown" will be a big challenge. Dr. Gu Shiji pointed out that foreign reports show that the incidence of the new crown is not necessarily related to the severity of the disease at the time of infection, and people with mild symptoms may also be affected by the new crown in the future. , Cardiopulmonary function, endocrine and muscle problems.

In the future, experts in thoracic medicine, psychiatry, neurology Photo Restoration Service and other departments must jointly formulate a definition for the new crown, and then formulate clear tracking and diagnosis and treatment benchmarks. Dr. Gu Shiji took thoracic examination as an example. In addition to chest X-ray examination and pulmonary function test, he may also allow the patient to perform a 6-minute walk test, and monitor the patient's blood oxygen and blood pressure at the same time. If it is found during walking that the walking distance is not far away, or the blood oxygen, blood pressure, and heartbeat change significantly when walking, it can be judged that the physiological lung function is affected. The number of infected people has exceeded 2 million, and the long-term new crown tracking should be deployed in advance In addition, the proportion of children infected with the virus has gradually increased, and vaccine coverage is not as common as adults. Dr. Gu Shiji believes that in the future, the monitoring and tracking of the long-term new crown after the infection of children will also be the focus of the medical system. Dr. Gu Shiji pointed out that although the government currently encourages medical centers and medical institutions to open joint tracking clinics for patients who have recovered from the new crown, the number of.

confirmed cases has increased significantly this year, and more than 2 million people have been infected so far. The workload of clinic tracking may be quite large. The medical community should plan ahead for the upcoming challenges. Dr. Gu Shiji called on the competent authorities to "deploy in advance" and convene experts from relevant medical associations as soon as possible to discuss the diagnosis and treatment guidelines for "long-term new crown", so that in the face of the possible wave of sequelae, there will be more adequate response measures and medical care. .
