The severe degree of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been ten years, should be treated with long-term bronchodilators as well as glucocorticosteroids, and with long-term low-flow oxygen, and antibiotics when infection occurs.
Since COPD is an irreversible disease that cannot be completely cured, the treatments we take are designed to slow down the progression of the disease and try to slow down the arrival of the respiratory failure stage.
It is possible to standardize the long-term use of bronchodilators such as salbutamol and to standardize the long-term use of glucocorticosteroids such as budesonide, which help to dilate the bronchi and reduce persistent dyspnea due to long-term chronic inflammation of the pulmonary bronchioles.
Oxygen therapy should be long-term low-flow oxygen, due to the patient’s ventilation dysfunction, high concentration of oxygen can easily lead to carbon dioxide accumulation in the body, which can cause dizziness, confusion and other serious symptoms.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is often combined with lung infection, and antibiotics should be used when infection occurs, according to clinical experience or drug sensitivity results, commonly used drugs such as levofloxacin, azithromycin and so on.
All of the above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
