Dyspnea in the elderly with emphysema indicates that lung function has been seriously affected, leading to a decline in lung function. Dyspnea will be caused after the decline of ventilation function, so it is necessary to actively improve the lung function, for example, bronchodilators can be used to diastole bronchial tubes, so as to alleviate the symptoms of dyspnea, commonly used bronchodilators are doxophylline, terbutaline sulfate, salbutamol sulfate and other drugs. In addition, it is also necessary to treat the specific triggers. If it is induced by bacterial infection, anti-infective treatment needs to be given, such as the use of amoxicillin, cefuroxime and other drugs. If the complication is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it is also necessary to actively control the chronic inflammation of the airways, for example, glucocorticosteroids such as budesonide or fluticasone can be used for treatment. Lobectomy and lung volume reduction surgery may also be considered if internal medicine is not effective in those with severe symptoms.
