Since entering winter, the number of respiratory syncytial virus infections has increased, and many children have just been infected with syncytial virus due to influenza. "Some parents think that it is very incorrect to use oseltamivir for the treatment of viral infection." At the press conference held by the National Health Commission on January 13, Qu Dong, the chief physician of the Capital Children's Medical Center affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that for infectious diseases, some people blindly follow the trend of treatment, and lack awareness of the importance of pathogenic examination. There are many common pathogens in respiratory tract infections, including viruses, bacteria, and mycoplasma. Viruses are the main pathogens, accounting for about 80%, including rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, bocavirus, and parapulmonary virus. ”Qu Dong explained that oseltamivir is only effective against influenza virus, and many other viruses do not have specific antiviral drugs. However, improving pathogen testing is still very meaningful for clinical practice, as it can help clinical doctors grasp the occurrence and development process of viral infections and provide targeted treatment. In order to prevent diseases such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases that are prone to occur during the cold winter season, many members of the public are enthusiastic about using various medical equipment products, such as electronic blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, etc., and frequently pay attention to health indicator monitoring data such as smart bracelets. In recent years, household medical devices have widely entered households, but there are indeed some misconceptions in their use. ”Wu Hang, chief physician of Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, introduced that the main misconception is "buy and use, use until the end". Many medical devices need to be tested and evaluated by professional medical institutions before use. For example, whether a home ventilator used to assist in the treatment of sleep apnea can be used needs to be evaluated, and the parameters need to be set by professional doctors to achieve the effect of assisting treatment. In addition, the use of pulse oximeters, blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, etc. should pay attention to details to ensure the accuracy of monitoring. If there are many enzymes on the blood glucose test strip, they may become ineffective over time, causing inaccurate measurement values. It is unnecessary to overly focus on the health indicators monitored by products such as smart bracelets and smartwatches. ”Wu Hang said that watches and bracelets with daily health management functions such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and sleep monitoring cannot be used as the basis for disease diagnosis and treatment, nor can they replace corresponding medical examinations and tests. Taking the sleep monitoring wristband as an example, it mainly judges and infers sleep status through body movement, blood oxygen saturation, and heart rate, reflecting the approximate number of deep, light, or awake times, but cannot achieve the accuracy and dimension of professional equipment. It would be too arbitrary to infer that it is a sleep disorder simply because its monitoring values are not ideal. To have a correct understanding of the role of smart wearable products in daily monitoring and health management, and to view monitoring data results rationally, if indicators frequently show significant changes, further examination should be conducted at the hospital. ”Wu Hang said. Regarding the situation where human serum albumin is regarded as a "nutritional miracle drug" by the public, Hu Qiangqiang, spokesperson for the National Health Commission, pointed out that some people believe that a shot of human serum albumin is necessary for physical weakness, pre exam assault, postoperative recovery, beauty and anti-aging, but there are obvious misconceptions. Human serum albumin is a clinical prescription drug, not a nutritional supplement for daily health care. Its core use is to correct hypoalbuminemia, treat specific diseases such as ascites, kidney disease, and severe burns caused by cirrhosis or cancer, and its main function is to maintain plasma colloid osmotic pressure. The main component of human serum albumin is protein, but its utilization rate is low and it lacks essential amino acids such as tryptophan. Its nutritional value is not as rich as ordinary foods such as eggs, milk, and beef. ”Hu Qiangqiang reminds that human serum albumin does not have the function of directly enhancing immunity, and blind infusion cannot achieve the effect of "enhancing resistance". Blind infusion also carries potential risks such as allergies. Do not purchase on your own or blindly follow the trend. (New Society)
