Effective control of pulmonary fibrosis usually includes symptomatic treatment, drug treatment, general treatment, surgical treatment and other methods.
1. Symptomatic treatment: For patients with acute or severe pulmonary fibrosis, they can be treated with oxygen, prevention of venous thrombosis (low molecular weight heparin, double lower limb pneumatic pump), mechanical ventilation and other methods.
2. Drug therapy: patients with pulmonary fibrosis can be treated with glucocorticoids (dexamethasone, budesonide), antifibrotic drugs (pirfenidone, nidazepam), immunosuppressants (cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine) and other drugs.
3. General treatment: General treatment for pulmonary fibrosis patients usually includes quitting smoking, inhaling oxygen, doing whole-body exercise and respiratory muscle exercise in daily life.
4. Surgery: patients with severe pulmonary fibrosis can have lung transplantation to improve their quality of life and prolong their survival.
Patients with pulmonary fibrosis need to go to the hospital for evaluation and treatment in time to avoid delays.
