Abstract

Severe and critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were usually with underlying diseases, which led to the problems of complicated drug use, potential drug-drug interactions and medication errors in special patients. Based on Diagnosis and treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia (trial version 6), and Management of COVID-19: the Zhejiang experience, we summarized the experience in the use of antiviral drugs, corticosteroids, vascular active drugs, antibacterial, probiotics, nutrition support schemes in severe and critically ill COVID-19 patients. It is also suggested to focus on medication management for evaluation of drug efficacy and duration of treatment, prevention and treatment of adverse drug reactions, identification of potential drug-drug interactions, individualized medication monitoring based on biosafety protection, and medication administration for special patients.

2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)重型、危重型患者往往合并基础疾病,用药种类复杂,存在潜在的药物相互作用、特殊人群用药等问题。本文依据《新型冠状病毒肺炎诊疗方案(试行第六版)》,基于《2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)诊疗浙江经验》,总结重型、危重型患者选择抗病毒药物、糖皮质激素、血管活性药物、抗菌药物、微生态制剂、营养支持方案等经验,建议针对药物疗效和疗程评估、药物不良反应防治、潜在药物相互作用识别、基于生物安全防护的个体化用药监测以及特殊人群给药等进行重点用药管理,以期为COVID-19患者临床药物选择和用药管理提供参考。
