Zheng Yin, Vice President of Hainan Chengmei Hospital and a well-known cardiovascular expert, said that the successful treatment of the case reflects the hospitals comprehensive strength in the treatment of geriatric diseases.

Sudden onset of multiple critical illness,
makes the patient and their families feel really helpless
76-Years-old Mr. Luo is a well-known entrepreneur, a national model worker, and has been met by the Party and State leaders as a representative of the entire military.
More than 20 years ago, Mr. Luo was unfortunately caught by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which led to a variety of chronic diseases.
Not long ago, Mr. Luo, who was convalescing in Hainan, suddenly got worse and was unable to walk, even lying in bed would cause breathing difficulties.
Mr. Luo was recommended by a local friend and came to Hainan Chengmei Hospital with the mentality of "having a try".
"The hospital environment is really good, but after all, it is a new hospital, what is the strength of the expert team? To be honest, we didnt have any certain faith.” According to the patients family, before that, Mr. Luo had been treated in many large hospitals, but the effect was not very satisfying.
"When the patient being in hospital, we evaluated him by examination and found that he had eight diseases, including pulmonary hypertension, type 2 respiratory failure, hyponatremia, pulmonary infection, pulmonary heart disease, and heart failure, and almost all of them were high-risk diseases, thus his vital signs were very fragile.” Dr. Dai Wenxin, Director of Geriatric Medicine Multidisciplinary Diagnosis and Treatment Center, introduced.
Mr Luos family said: "Facing such a serious illness, the patient himself and us his family members were all very negative for a long time. It feels like theres no hope of cure.”

Individualized "dialectical" therapy
The patients autofunction recovered rapidly
"When the patient first came in, his condition was very bad.” Zheng Yin introduced. In combination with Mr. Luos condition, the hospital immediately launched a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment mechanism, and tailored individual treatment plans for the patient.
Wenxin Dai, a "returnee" specialist majored in geriatric respiratory and oncology research as a doctoral student and led oncology and cardiovascular research during his post-doctoral period, leaded the medical and nursing team to manage Mr. Luos condition in whole course.
"We first found a problem, because of the long-term illness, Mr. Luo has been treated in many hospitals at home and abroad, and has taken many kinds of medicine.” The first thing for Dai Wenxin and the medical team is to use the "principle of subtraction" to help the patient reduce the types of drugs to reduce adverse reactions between drugs, and on the basis of drug treatment, at the same time, they carried out comprehensive physical, psychosomatic and nutritional treatment to achieve body function repair of the patient.
"Thus, there were fewer drugs, damage of drugs on organism were reduced, the patients autonomic functions were slowly restored, the organism is harmonized, and the symptoms and organ functions were naturally improved.” Wenxin Dai introduced that Mr. Luos pulmonary hypertension, total heart failure, respiratory failure and hyponatremia all reached high-risk criteria when he was admitted to the hospital. After his physical functions improved, his rate of heart failure, respiratory failure, hyponatremia and pulmonary hypertension turned close to normal values and he was relieved from life crisis.

"Modular" precision diagnosis and treatment
Provide more benefit for patients
There are a group of excellent experts in the province in Multidisciplinary Geriatric Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Hainan Chengmei Hospital, and has established an expert database, bringing together almost domestic elites in the field of geriatric disease diagnosis and treatment, so that patients can obtain domestic and even international advanced technology diagnosis and treatment services without leaving the island.
Professor Zheng Yin introduced that there will be a "multi-disease symbiosis" problem for many elderly patients, during the treatment process, they pay attention to the intervention of potential functional defects of patients, promote self-function recovery, introduce the "comorbbiosis management" diagnosis and treatment mode, and implement "modular" precision treatment for elderly and multi-disease symbiosis patients, which is generally recognized by patients.
"Modular" precision diagnosis and treatment refers to the aggregation of a variety of means in treatment methods, and the focus on multidisciplinary forces in diagnosis and treatment methods to form standard and individualized treatment advantages.
"At that time, we found that Mr. Luo had severe pulmonary hypertension and developed pulmonary heart disease, which is a serious and complex problem.” After a comprehensive assessment, Dr. Shu Yue, Deputy Chief Physician of the Geriatrics Multidisciplinary Center, immediately developed a prescription for respiratory training and exercise rehabilitation for the patient to increase the his autonomic function and promote his early recovery. After a course of "modular" treatment, Mr. Luo was not only able to get out of bed on his own, but could also walk thousands of steps at a time, and gradually recovered all the functions of his own body.
When leaving the hospital, Mr. Luo and his family were very grateful: you not only have a good environment, good service, and better medical skills!
