    The main activities are aimed at combating respiratory
    insufficiency and therapy of the underlying disease that caused the development
    Emphisms of the lungs.

    Refusal to smoking is an extremely important event. It
    should take first place in the treatment of this pathology. Wherein
    It is necessary to keep in mind the following: one-time cessation of smoking
    has a greater effect than a gradual decrease in the number of smoked
    cigarettes; High motivation of smoking refusal is the main
    a factor determining success; Chewing gum and civory
    Applicators containing nicotine helps to reduce smoking cravings,
    Especially if they are used in the complex of events aimed at
    to give up smoking.

    When aggravating the chronic inflammatory process in the lungs
    Antibacterial drugs are prescribed, in the presence of bronchospastic
    Syndron, developing as a result of the narrowing of the lumen of small bronchi and bronchiol - Broncholitic agents (Drugs causing expansion of the lumen and elimination of bronchial spasms). Basic groups
    Broncholitic drugs are anticholinergic
    (Atrovant, Berodual), Theophyllins (Teoopek, Teotard, Ehufillin, etc.),
    Beta-2 sympathomimetics (Salbutamol, Berotek). Selection of the drug and volume
    Therapies depend on the severity of the disease.

    Failure drugs are prescribed to improve spilus.

    Treatment of emphysema
    With the development of respiratory failure, respiratory
    Gymnastics, which contributes to the improvement of light ventilation, gas exchange.
    In chronic respiratory failure of the I degree with success
    Hydoxytherapy is used. The patient breathes atmospheric air with
    reduced (up to 11-12%) oxygen content for 5 minutes, and
    then 5 minutes breathes atmospheric air with normal content
    Oxygen. Within one session, 6 such cycles perform. Everyone
    day spend 1 session. The course of treatment lasts 15-20 days.

    In the presence of pronounced breathing insufficiency
    Long-term oxygen therapy. As a source
    Oxygen at home use cylinders with compressed oxygen
    or hubs, portable devices for oxygen production
    room air. Duration of low threaded oxygen therapy
    is at least 18 hours a day. If it is impossible to perform
    Malopotary hydrochiotherapy is carried out inhalation of moisturized
    Oxygen through nasal catheters.

    Sometimes use auxiliary artificial ventilation of the lungs with
    using respirators of any type adjustable by volume, frequency or
    pressure.

    To correct respiratory failure, it is also applied
    Aerionotherapy. It is produced by 1 session per day, treatment course
    It lasts 15-20 days.

    With a long narrowing of the respiratory tract - voltage increase
    all respiratory muscles becomes chronic. Treatment of fatigue
    respiratory muscles, including diaphragms, is important along with
    using drugs for the treatment of lung emphysema.
    Various workouts are widely used, providing normal
    Music operating mode. Therapeutic physical education aimed at reducing
    muscle tone and improved bronchial passability gives the best
    effect with bronchial obstruction (breathing difficulty).

    The most simple, but very important exercise is training
    breathing by creating a positive pressure at the end of the exhalation.
    Carry out these exercises just. Can be used non-pecked
    hoses of various lengths through which the patient breathes and create
    Installation of water shutter (water filled with water). After enough
    deep breath should be able to exhale as slowly through the hose in
    Water-filled jar.

    To improve drainage functions, special drainage and exercises with forced elongated exhalation are used.

    Positional (postural) drainage is the use of a certain
    Body positions for better wet wet. Positioning drainage
    performed in patients with chronic bronchitis (especially with purulent
    forms) with a decrease in cough reflex or too viscous sputum. He
    Also recommended after endotracheal infusion or administration
    expectorant in the form of an aerosol.

    It is performed 2 times a day (in the morning and evening, but you can and more often) after
    Preliminary reception of bronchus and expectorant means
    (Usually infusion of thermopsis, mother-and-steph, richnik, plantain), and
    Also hot lime tea. 20-30 minutes after that the patient
    Alternately occupies the provisions that contribute to maximum emptying
    From the sputum of certain lung segments under the action of gravity and spution of sputum to cough reflexogenic zones. In each position
    The patient performs at the beginning of 4-5 deep slow respiratory movements,
    inhaling the air through the nose, and exhausted through compressed lips. Then after
    Slow deep breath produces 3-, 4x shallow shallow
    Passing 4-5 times. Good result is achieved when combined
    drainage provisions with various breast vibration methods over
    Drainaged segments or its compression with hands on exhalation, massage,
    Made quite energious.

    Postural drainage is contraindicated in heaming and occurrence during the procedure of considerable shortness of breath or attack
    Choosing.
