Lung and Bronchi diseases

Description of disease

Usually most bronchial diseases begins with inflammation of the lung shell. Most often, such a phenomenon is found in children and the elderly, whose organisms are still very weak. Most often, people are subjected to viral infections of the upper respiratory tract, but in some cases inflammation can be the result of an allergic reaction, bacteria or inhalation of air, in which there is a pritamine of chemical compounds or gases. When the bronchi is inflamed, they scatter along the walls and begin to allocate a large amount of mucus. As a result of such a process, a person begins a sharp dry cough, amplifying at night. But after a few days, the mucus begins to close the walls of the bronchi, and the cough becomes softer.

But when the diseases of this type are transmitted from an acute chronic shape, then bronchial cells that distinguish the mucus are thicken and allocate too much mucus, which is why the walls of the bronchi become edema. Tumors on bronchi strongly narrow the passages, so the human breath becomes heavy. This is due to the difficulty of air movement and penetrating it into the departments of the lungs responsible for gas exchange. Chronic form of diseases may appear in a person who has a lot and regularly smokes, breathes by exhaust gases or other chemicals.

Causes of disease

Modern medicine makes it possible to define the type of disease in advance and designate adequate treatment to patients. For the study of human respiration organs, laboratory and instrumental methods are used to include:

• x-ray;
• radiography;
• tomography;
• bronchography;
• Fluorography.

There are also methods of internal (endoscopic) study, for the implementation of which they resort to bronchuscopia and toraoscopy. Methods of functional diagnostics make it possible to identify the presence of breathing failure in advance, even before certain symptoms appear. Also, with the help of these methods, you can establish a type of disease, nature and degree of development. Methods of functional diagnostics that determine the dynamics of changes in the functions of an external respiratory system in the disease process include lung ventilation and pleural puncture.

In addition to these methods, experts are able to explore a wet emitted with cough. To date, the doctors can quickly and timely identify the following diseases of the lungs and bronchi:

• liquid, cavity or air in the cavity of the pleura;
• pleural mooring;
• inflammatory seal of lung tissues;
• Opring or compression atelectasis;
• Emphy of the lungs (an increase in airiness);
• acute and chronic bronchitis;
• bronchospasm.

All this is possible to reveal in advance and begin to treat correctly, but only if the patient immediately appeals to the doctor, as soon as the first signs of the disease.

Treatment

The severity and frequency of exacerbations directly depend on the rate of progression of respiratory failure, as well as from the forecast of adverse outcomes of obstructive pulmonary disease. In this regard, the Doctor always recommend timely and thorough treatment of diseases arising against the background of the chronic course of respiratory diseases. Before appointing a particular treatment, the specialist must determine the gravity of the exacerbation. Such a level is based on the manifestations of episodes of exacerbations and their outcomes. So, there are three severity of the disease:

• treatment at home;
• hospitalization in hospital;
• The need for respiratory support.

As a rule, all exacerbations are developing under such risk factors:

• viral, bacterial infection;
• harmful environmental factors;
• contaminated atmosphere;
• long oxygen therapy;
• ineffective lung resuscitation.

When the patient has an exacerbation of the disease, the doctor determines the degree of gravity and the accompanying pathology with the severity of previous exacerbations. Often the doctors prescribe broncholitic drugs. When treatment needs to be prescribed to a patient with an exacerbate disease, then the doctor must necessarily assess the severity of the disease, the presence of concomitant pathologies and the severity of diseases that were before.

There are various principles for the treatment of diseases of lungs and bronchi, but one of the most basic is the intensification of bronchhalytic therapy achieved by increasing doses of drugs. Currently effective for the treatment of this type of diseases are cholinolics, short-acting agonists, nebulized cholinolithic solutions. Inhalation through the nebulizer make it possible to introduce a high dose of medication, there is no freon and other propylents.

Treatment with folk remedies

Many years ago, when there were no drugs from different diseases, people were treated with the help of folk remedies. Most popular and efficient methods «lived» and until today. So, the treatment of broncho-pulmonary diseases by folk remedies:

Especially in such prevention, employees of industries are needed, on which people are in contact with harmful chemicals, and in the air an increased amount of dust and harmful gases.

Also one of the important elements of the prevention of diseases of the lungs and bronchi is regular trips to the sanatorium and the sea. After all, the salty air can neutralize infections and heal the foci of defeat the respiratory organs, and also remove the suffocation when asthma. In therapeutic or preventive sanatoriums, there are extensive solo rooms that create the effect of the sea. If there is no possibility for elaborate trips, then you can purchase a salt lamp or an air ionizer. Also prevent diseases of this type well helps air washing with a special device performing purification and humidification.

It is important for the health of lungs and bronchi is a refusal of cigarettes and alcohol, since resin, nicotine, carbon dioxide violates gas exchange and cause blocking of bronchial vessels. In addition, these harmful disastrous habits cause various tumors. But do not forget that the best prevention with even the weakest signs of the disease is the observation of a specialist in hospital hospital.
