Oxygen saturation is blood oxygen saturation, low oxygen saturation may be due to anemia, respiratory diseases such as asthma, cardiovascular disease and other reasons, according to the different causes of the need to take oxygen, medication and surgical treatment to improve blood oxygen saturation.
1. Anemia: Anemia patients will have a decrease in oxygen saturation, which can be improved by oxygen inhalation, the use of medications such as ferrous sulfate, folic acid and other drugs prescribed by the doctor to treat anemia, and blood transfusion under the guidance of the doctor if necessary.
2. Respiratory diseases: such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and so on will make the blood oxygen saturation drop, can follow the doctor’s advice to inhale oxygen, the use of glucocorticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone and other drugs for treatment, if necessary, can be used to non-invasive ventilator treatment.
3. Cardiovascular disease: such as coronary heart disease, heart failure patients will decline in oxygen saturation, can follow the doctor’s instructions to take drugs such as aspirin, atorvastatin and other treatments, if necessary, coronary heart disease patients need to receive coronary stent implantation.
If the patient’s oxygen saturation drops, he should go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
