During the autumn and winter holidays, the cold and dry weather is a high period of increased symptoms for chronic bronchitis patients. Therefore, the adoption of scientifically sound care measures is particularly important during this period in order to control the condition and improve the quality of life of patients. This paper will provide comprehensive care advice to older and slow-to-age patients from everyday life, drug management, rehabilitation training and psychological support.
I. Daily living care
Stay warm: Cold is one of the main contributing factors to the deterioration of the symptoms of old slowness. Patients should pay special attention during the autumn and winter holidays to keep warm and avoid long periods of cold. When going out, you should wear warm clothing, hats, scarfs and gloves.
Air flow and humidity: keep indoor air flow fresh, but avoid direct ventilation. Indoor humidity should be maintained between 40 and 60 per cent, and can be increased by the use of humidifiers to reduce respiratory drying and irritation.
3. Avoid exposure to irritating substances: Patients should be far from smoke, dust and other irritating gases. Smoking should be banned in the home and the living environment should be regularly clean, clean and dust-reduction.
Drug management and assistive treatment
1. Medicines in compliance with medical instructions: Old and slow-care patients shall be given medication in strict accordance with the instructions of a doctor, and they shall not be free to reduce, stop or replace their medication. Common drugs include bronchial extension agents, platinum and antibiotics.
2. Family Oxygen Treatment: For patients with more serious conditions, doctors may recommend home Oxygen Treatment. Regular daily oxygen use can improve oxygen deficiency and improve the quality of life and mobility of patients.
3. Gas-free treatment: There is a growing use of non-respiratory treatment in households for chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases during stabilization periods. Unintended gas can correct oxygen deficiency and carbon dioxide storage, improve breathing difficulties, reduce respiratory oxygen consumption and reduce respiratory fatigue. When using a non-respirator, care is taken to seal the mask and connect the pipe, avoid leakage and periodically replace the filter.
Rehabilitation training and dietary adjustment
1. Respiratory training: Respiratory muscles can be strengthened and lung function improved through abdominal and corrosive breathing. The maintenance of adequate daily respiratory training helps to alleviate respiratory symptoms.
2. Motivation: Aerobics, such as walking, Tai Chi, etc., can increase the physical strength and immunity of patients. The strength of the movement should be measured by the patient ‘ s physical condition, avoiding overwork.
3. Dietary regulation: Eating should be low, digestive and highly nutritious, with additional intake of vitamin C and zinc-rich foods, such as fresh vegetables, vegetables and nuts, to enhance immunity. At the same time, cold, overheated and spicy irritant foods are avoided.
Psychological support and regular monitoring
1. Psychological care: The chronic illness of chronically ill persons makes them vulnerable to psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Families should give patients full understanding and support to help them to remain positive and optimistic.
2. Periodic monitoring: periodic lung function check-ups, haematological saturation monitoring, etc., to keep abreast of changes in the condition and to adjust the treatment programme to the doctor ‘ s recommendations.
These multi-faceted comprehensive care measures can effectively reduce the symptoms and improve the quality of life of older and slow-care patients in autumn and winter. Patients should actively cooperate with care in their daily lives, while maintaining good communication with doctors to meet the challenges of disease. Reducing the discomfort caused by disease and ensuring that elderly patients enjoy a comfortable time to spend their fall and winter holidays.
