Lung obstruction generally refers to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and there is no such thing as how to treat it best. It needs to be treated according to the patient’s condition. Commonly used treatment means oxygen therapy, drug therapy and so on.
1. Oxygen therapy: long-term home oxygen therapy can be implemented for patients in the stable stage. This treatment can improve the quality of life and survival rate of patients with chronic respiratory failure complicated by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
2. Pharmacotherapy:
(1) Bronchodilator: it can effectively relieve shortness of breath, wheezing and other symptoms. Commonly used drugs are salbutamol and so on. When patients with acute exacerbation have severe wheezing, nebulized inhalation treatment such as salbutamol aerosol should be used. Inhalation of long-acting adrenergic receptor agonists such as formoterol, anticholinergic drugs such as ipratropium bromide, and glucocorticosteroids such as budesonide during the stabilization period can be single or compounded.
(2) Expectorant drugs: For those who cannot cough up phlegm easily, these drugs can be used, commonly used drugs are aminobromine hydrochloride, etc., which can promote the elimination of mucous secretion in the respiratory tract and reduce the retention of mucus, promote the expectoration of phlegm, and improve the respiration.
(3) Antibiotics: patients with acute exacerbation can be treated with levofloxacin when their dyspnea worsens, coughing with increased sputum volume and purulent sputum.
The prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is related to the severity of the patient’s condition and whether the treatment is reasonable and timely. The progression of the disease can be slowed down by active treatment. As chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is an incompletely reversible disease, with the increase in the number of acute onset, the patient’s lung function will become worse and worse. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
