For outdoor workers, air pollution is the biggest harm. Long time outdoor work can seriously damage the lungs and cause pulmonary embolism. Let's talk about whether pulmonary embolism can cause asthma.

Can pulmonary embolism cause asthma

First of all, pulmonary embolism refers to pulmonary embolism. After the pulmonary artery and its branches are blocked by embolus, there is no blood flow in the pulmonary artery and gas exchange can not be carried out. That is to say, it is equivalent to the increase of physiological dead space and the decrease of ventilation efficiency. Moreover, it can also lead to intra alveolar hemorrhage and alveolar wall necrosis. Therefore, it will seriously affect the ventilation and ventilation, resulting in the feeling of unobstructed breathing, and serious people will suffer Wheezing affects your health.

Then general treatment: make the patient quiet, warm, oxygen; for sedation, pain, if necessary, can give morphine, pethidine, codeine; in order to prevent pulmonary infection and treatment of phlebitis application of antibiotics.

Finally, improve breathing: if there is bronchospasm, aminophylline, dihydroxypropyltheophylline (Chuanding) and other bronchodilators and mucolytic agents can be used. Phentolamine (10-20mg) dissolved in 5% - 10% glucose (100-200ml) can also be given intravenously to relieve bronchospasm and dilate pulmonary vessels. Patients with respiratory failure and severe hypoxemia can be treated with mechanical ventilation for a short time.

matters needing attention

People with pulmonary embolism should not go to crowded places in their lives, and they should wear masks when going out. They should mainly eat a light, digestible and vitamin rich diet to keep their stool unobstructed and avoid forced defecation.
