Localized fibrosis of both lungs

Localized fibrosis of both lungs

Lung function is very important to us. There must be no problems with human lung function. Once it occurs, various adverse reactions will occur, such as coughing, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. When localized fibrosis of both lungs occurs, it can be treated by combining Chinese and Western medicine, because only in this way can it be controlled. More serious cases require surgery.

Disease treatment 1. Western medicine treatment

1. Glucocorticoids (prednisone, also known as prednisone)

2. Immunosuppressants or cytotoxic drugs (cyclophosphamide, azathioprine)

3. Antioxidants (Ambroxol, Taurine)

4. Anti-fibrotic drugs (pirfenidone, IT_ receptor antagonists, monoclonal antibodies, etc.)

5. Receptor inhibitors (leukotriene receptor antagonists, tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors, epidermal growth factor-β inhibitors)

6. Immunomodulators (BCG polysaccharide nucleic acid, levamisole)

7. Other drugs (colchicine, macrolide antibiotics, interferon-γ, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors)

8. Gene therapy

2. TCM treatment methods

1. Special TCM therapies (traditional Chinese medicine infusion, acupoint plaster, traditional Chinese medicine atomization, foot medicated bath, special prescription of warming kidney and clearing lung soup, magnetic medicine superposition and immunomodulation therapy, etc.)

2. Chinese patent medicine (for example: Yangyin Yifei Tongluo Pills, Xianqi Fuyang Guben Pills, etc.)

3. Oxygen Therapy

Giving the patient oxygen inhalation can improve the decline in blood oxygen, which falls under the category of inhalation therapy. This therapy can increase arterial oxygen partial pressure, improve tissue hypoxia caused by decreased blood oxygen, and maintain the functions of important organs such as the brain, heart, and kidneys; it can also reduce the increased workload of the heart and lungs caused by increased heart rate and breathing during hypoxia. It has a better effect on hypoxia caused by decreased arterial oxygen partial pressure in respiratory diseases, but can only partially improve hypoxia caused by poor circulatory function or anemia.

4. Humidification and atomization therapy

Mainly refers to aerosol inhalation therapy. Aerosols refer to tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the air. Therefore, nebulizer inhalation therapy uses a nebulizer device to disperse the drug (solution or powder) into tiny droplets or particles, suspending them in the gas and allowing them to enter the respiratory tract and lungs to clean the airways.

5. Application of ventilator

A ventilator is used to replace, control or change a person's normal physiological breathing, increase lung ventilation, improve respiratory function, reduce respiratory work consumption and save heart reserve capacity.

6. Lung Transplantation

Unilateral lung transplantation; emphysema, bilateral pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis and chronic pulmonary suppuration are suitable for double lung transplantation.
