Please breathe oxygen in time if you have pneumonia heart disease!

👇 Pulmonary heart disease, also known as cor pulmonale, is a heart disease caused by lung disease. It is mainly caused by bronchial-pulmonary tissue or pulmonary artery vascular lesions leading to pulmonary hypertension, which in turn causes changes in the structure or function of the right ventricle.

Symptoms📢

Symptoms of pulmonary heart disease include ☘️ long-term cough, ☘️ expectoration and varying degrees of ☘️ dyspnea, ☘️ symptoms worsen after activity.

Preventive measures❗

Treatment mainly includes treatment of basic respiratory diseases, anti-infection treatment, control of respiratory failure, control of heart failure and treatment of complications. Preventive measures include quitting smoking, avoiding contact with harmful substances, vaccination, regular physical examinations, etc.

Factors⁉️

Risk factors for pulmonary heart disease in the elderly include chronic bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc.

Patients with pulmonary heart disease should receive oxygen in time if they have the following symptoms❗❗

1️⃣ Blood oxygen saturation: If the patient's blood oxygen saturation is lower than the normal range, it is generally considered that oxygen is needed. Normal blood oxygen saturation should be above 95%. If it is lower than this value, it may indicate that the patient is in a state of hypoxia and needs to be increased by oxygen inhalation.

2️⃣ Dyspnea: If the patient feels dyspnea, especially after activity, this may be a sign of hypoxia and needs to be relieved by oxygen inhalation.

3️⃣ Respiratory rate and depth: If the patient's breathing rate increases or the depth becomes shallower, this may be a sign that the body is trying to get more oxygen by increasing the number of breaths, and oxygen inhalation may also be needed at this time.

4️⃣ Consciousness: If the patient is confused or comatose, this may be a sign of severe hypoxia and requires immediate oxygen inhalation and emergency medical assistance.

5️⃣ Doctor's advice: Whether oxygen inhalation is ultimately needed should be decided by the doctor based on the patient's specific situation. The doctor will make a comprehensive judgment based on the patient's medical history, symptoms, physical examination results, and laboratory test results.

Precautions for oxygen inhalation⁉️

🍒Type of oxygen inhalation: For patients with cor pulmonale in the acute stage, if severe respiratory failure or hypoxemia occurs, high-flow oxygen inhalation is required to correct the hypoxic state; for patients with cor pulmonale in the stable stage, low-flow continuous oxygen inhalation is generally sufficient to meet their daily needs.

🍒Safety of oxygen inhalation: Before implementing oxygen inhalation therapy, the severity of the patient's condition and whether there are contraindications should be assessed, and their vital signs and blood oxygen saturation should be closely monitored to ensure safe and effective oxygen inhalation.

🍒Time of oxygen inhalation: For patients with chronic cor pulmonale, home oxygen therapy requires low-flow oxygen inhalation, 1-2L/min, and 10-15 hours of oxygen inhalation per day, to ensure that the patient's oxygen partial pressure can reach more than 60mmHg and the oxygen saturation can reach more than 90% in a quiet state.
