What to do about edema in heart failure with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Slow obstructive pulmonary heart failure edema, mainly for slow obstructive pulmonary given to improve ventilation, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic asthma, phlegm and other treatments, for heart failure edema given to cardiac, diuretic and other drug therapy, patients usually pay attention to rest, prevent cold and flu, strengthen nutrition.
1. Long-term presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can cause pulmonary hypertension, thus causing right heart failure, right heart failure edema is mainly manifested as peripheral edema, such as this case treatment is mainly for the treatment of primary diseases, at the same time for heart failure edema to give medication.
2. For chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, long-term home oxygen therapy should be given, the condition of the acute stage can be through the high-flow oxygen or non-invasive ventilator-assisted ventilation, serious patients need to be tracheal intubation invasive ventilation.
Most of the exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are related to infections, so antibiotic treatment should be given for the pathogenic bacteria; at the same time, the application of antispasmodic, asthma and phlegm medications, such as the application of ipratropium bromide, budesonide given by nebulized inhalation, intravenous aminophylline antispasmodic, and aminobromine to reduce phlegm.
3. Apply medication for heart failure, such as digoxin to enhance myocardial contraction, furosemide for diuresis, and metoprolol, amiodarone and other antiarrhythmic drugs for rapid heart rate or arrhythmia. If the heart failure is serious, it may be necessary to apply some assistive devices to increase improve cardiac function, such as aortic balloon refutation, cardiac resynchronization therapy and so on.
Patients must pay attention to rest, prevent cold and flu, strictly control the amount of water intake, control sodium intake, and increase the intake of high-protein food in the usual diet.
