How to treat acute respiratory failure? Increase ventilation

summary

Respiratory diseases often lead to a variety of life-threatening, there are many respiratory diseases can cause acute respiratory failure, such as respiratory infection, acute pulmonary edema, so how to treat acute respiratory failure? Let's have a look.

How to treat acute respiratory failure? Increase ventilation

First: an important reason for respiratory failure is that the respiratory tract is not unblocked, so the treatment of acute respiratory failure, first of all, we must keep the respiratory tract unblocked. The methods to keep the respiratory tract unblocked include taking the comatose patients to supine position, opening the mouth, clearing the foreign body in the respiratory tract, artificial intubation, etc. it is effective to keep the respiratory tract unblocked, which can play an emergency role in acute respiratory failure.

Second: acute respiratory failure is often hypoxia, so the second step to treat acute respiratory failure is to provide the body with enough oxygen, commonly known as oxygen therapy. After determining the oxygen concentration, some oxygen inhalation devices can effectively deliver oxygen to the body, playing a role in the treatment of acute respiratory failure.

Third: * * the above method is not enough, but also increase the volume of ventilation of the body, improve the retention of carbon dioxide, generally can use respiratory stimulants, in the maintenance of respiratory tract smooth, can effectively increase ventilation and reduce carbon dioxide retention, and mechanical ventilation is also very effective.

matters needing attention

Pay attention to the emergency treatment during acute attack, keep the respiratory tract unblocked and increase ventilation.
