Can pulmonary heart disease be treated with hyperbaric oxygen

summary

Cor pulmonale refers to the diseases related to the lungs and respiratory tract. For patients, this kind of disease can cause asthma and other phenomena, and even life-threatening. In order to treat cor pulmonale in time, let's talk about whether hyperbaric oxygen can be used for cor pulmonale.

Can pulmonary heart disease be treated with hyperbaric oxygen

First: pulmonary heart disease is mostly secondary to chronic bronchitis, COPD and other respiratory diseases. If lung disease with secondary lung disease is secondary, low flow oxygen inhalation, rather than high flow rate * or even pure oxygen, will aggravate carbon dioxide retention, leading to respiratory depression and even pulmonary encephalopathy.

Second: hyperbaric oxygen therapy is to put patients in a hyperbaric environment (hyperbaric oxygen chamber) to inhale oxygen to treat diseases. The clinical application of hyperbaric oxygen has been quite extensive, involving internal, external, gynecology, pediatrics, transmission, facial features, skin and so on. Almost all clinical disciplines have significant curative effect on many diseases.

Third: tracheitis, asthma, cor pulmonale, acute carbon monoxide poisoning and toxic encephalopathy, acute decompression sickness, acute gas embolism, asphyxia (smoking, drowning, hanging, anesthesia accident, etc.), gas gangrene, craniocerebral trauma and brain dysfunction (brain contusion and laceration, after evacuation of cerebral hematoma, cerebral concussion, etc.), harmful gas poisoning (hydrogen sulfide, liquefied petroleum gas, phosgene, etc.) Ammonia, gasoline, etc.), acute brain edema, chronic periodontitis, etc. Promote gas dispersion, improve hypoxia more quickly, remove carbon dioxide more quickly, correct respiratory failure more effectively.

matters needing attention

Hyperbaric oxygen can give patients sufficient oxygen, is conducive to the treatment of many diseases, therefore, for patients, can be appropriate for hyperbaric oxygen, but hyperbaric oxygen treatment will still have certain harm, so patients should be in the doctor's advice for treatment.
