summary

We all know that breathing is an unavoidable problem in our life. At this time, if our lung function is not good, it will be particularly troublesome, especially after suffering from the disease of emphysema. Because emphysema is a kind of respiratory disease, patients often feel difficult to breathe, which has a great impact on life, How to treat emphysema has become a concern of many people, the treatment of this disease must choose the right one, otherwise there will be a lot of complications. Let's take a look at the following.

Complications of obstructive emphysema

First: the first one is the sleep breathing disorder. The ventilation of normal people can be slightly reduced during sleep, while the ventilation of patients with obstructive pulmonary emphysema is significantly reduced during sleep. Especially when the arterial partial pressure of oxygen has been lowered to a certain extent, it is more dangerous.

Second: * chronic pulmonary heart disease and right heart failure. This hypoxemia and carbon dioxide retention and alveolar capillary bed damage can cause pulmonary hypertension. At some times, there is no right heart failure. However, when the respiratory disease develops further, it will induce right heart failure.

Third: * again, this respiratory failure. This obstructive emphysema is often severely damaged by respiratory function. Some factors such as respiratory infection and secretion dry retention, inappropriate oxygen therapy, or excessive intravenous application and surgery can further aggravate the ventilation and Qi dysfunction, which can induce respiratory failure.

matters needing attention

Finally, we want to say that these are the most common complications in patients with emphysema. Here we should remind the patients of the disease that in the treatment of emphysema, we must not forget the prevention and treatment of the complications of the disease.
