Abstract

The population is commonly susceptible to the 2019 novel coronavirus(2019-nCoV), especially the elderly with comorbidities. Elderly patients infected with 2019-nCoV tend to have higher rates of severe illnesses and mortality. Immunoaging is an important cause of severe novel coronavirus pneumonia(NCP)in the elderly.Due to the combination of underlying diseases, elderly patients may exhibit a typical manifestations in clinical symptoms, supplementary examinations and pulmonary imaging, deserving particular attention. The general condition of the elderly should be considered during diagnosis and treatment. In addition to routine care and measures such as oxygen therapy, antiviral therapy and respiratory support, treatment of underlying disease, nutritional support, sputum expectoration, complication prevention and psychological support should also be considered for elderly patients. Based on literature review and expert panel discussion, we drafted the Key Points for the Prevention and Treatment of the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia in the elderly, aiming to provide help with the prevention and treatment of NCP and the reduction of harm to the elderly population. Key words: 2019 Novel coronavirus(2019-nCoV); Pneumonia; Prevention and treatment; The elderly

老年人新型冠状病毒肺炎防治要点

人群普遍易感染2019年新型冠状病毒(2019- ncov)，特别是有合并症的老年人。感染新型冠状病毒的老年患者患重症和死亡率往往更高。免疫老化是老年人感染新型冠状病毒感染的重要原因。由于基础疾病的合并，老年患者在临床症状、辅助检查和肺部影像学上可能表现出典型的表现，值得特别关注。在诊断和治疗时应考虑老年人的一般情况。老年患者除氧疗、抗病毒治疗、呼吸支持等常规护理和措施外，还应考虑基础疾病治疗、营养支持、痰液祛痰、并发症预防和心理支持。在文献查阅和专家小组讨论的基础上，我们起草了《老年人新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎防治要点》，旨在为新型冠状病毒感染的防治提供帮助，减少对老年人的危害。关键词:新型冠状病毒(2019- ncov);肺炎;预防和治疗;老年人
