How to use air conditioners in high temperature?What about the epidemic?For patients with patients with chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, please check!

Cover Journalist Ning Zhi

At present, there are about 100 million patients with chronic pulmonary obstruction, 45.7 million patients with asthma patients at the age of 20 and above. Chronic respiratory diseases represented by chronic obstruction and asthma and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer are used. Listed as the world's four major chronic diseases. Recently, high temperatures in many places in the country, what are the precautions for patients with chronic respiratory diseases when using air conditioners? How can patients with chronic respiratory disease cope with the emergencies of epidemic sealing? For these issues, on August 13, cover news reporters interviewed business authoritative experts.

Respiratory Diseases

Pay attention to as high blood pressure

In respiratory diseases, slow lung blocking is one of the common chronic respiratory diseases that seriously endanger the health of the Chinese people. If it is not standardized, it can eventually develop to lung heart disease and respiratory failure. Professor Chen Rongchang, director of the Institute of Respiratory Diseases of Shenzhen People's Hospital, introduced that the early symptoms of slow lung blocking were mainly cough and fatigue, but they were often ignored by patients until the lung function dropped to seriously affecting action functions. In fact, the impact of chronic pulmonary obstruction on health is no less than hypertension and diabetes. Patients with chronic pulmonary blockers due to severe hypoxia due to dyspnea and cannot be dressed by themselves. Slow -blocking acute aggravation of pulmonary heart disease, respiratory failure is also common in the case of ICU rescue.

Professor Chen Rongchang said that the advancement of prolifiers in early diseases is relatively slow, and the symptoms are not significant. Therefore, the early detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary obstruction requires high -risk people to pay attention to the annual lung function examination. High -risk groups of slow lung blocking include: age over 40 years old, with smoking habits, often exposed to dust, and relatives have a history of illness. In addition, if the CT examination is found to have a large alveolar image in the lungs, it also suggests that there is a possibility of slow lung prevention. For the above -mentioned high -risk groups with symptoms such as cough and sputum for more than three months, they must go to the hospital for lung function test in time, find slowly lung obstruction and start treatment as soon as possible. The better the treatment, the better. Increasing difficulty, increased organs, and limited effects.

Dean Li Weimin of West China Hospital of Sichuan University told reporters that the three major characteristics of respiratory diseases are the high incidence and affect the wide population; the second is the high mortality rate, and the third is the high economic burden. And it is obviously contrasting this is that the public's awareness of the disease is low. Taking the slow lung blocking as an example, when the patient feels obviously short when it goes upstairs or climbing, you will not consider you suffering from lung disease or chronic lung blockage. Instead, they first suspect that they have heart problems, which also reflects that everyone pays more attention to hypertension and diabetes, and less awareness of respiratory diseases.

Patients such as asthma

These common sense cannot be less

At present, the weather is hot. On the problem of air conditioning, Dean Li Weimin emphasized that the patient with slow respiratory patients is more sensitive to air temperature. It is recommended to pay attention to the adjustment of temperature when using air conditioning to reduce the stimulation of the respiratory system with over -cold or overheating air.

Due to the poor immunity of patients with asthma and slow pulmonary disease, Dean Li Weimin also hopes to have patients with slow respiratory diseases to minimize the frequency of the crowd's gathering venues, wear masks, wash their hands frequently, and reduce the risk of new crowns. In addition, the biggest misunderstanding of asthma and slow pulmonary obstructive treatment is that the symptoms are aggravated before treatment. If it is better, the drug will be discontinued. This misunderstanding will lead to recurrence of the disease, which is not conducive to disease control.

Regarding standardized treatment, Professor Shen Huahao, Director of Breathing and Cympapture Medical Sciences of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College, also emphasized that asthma is a disease that needs to be inhaled every day. It may be acute due to pets such as cats and dogs in a short time, passing by the environment with irritating gases, etc., causing serious consequences of life -threatening life. He pointed out that the proportion of asthma patients who adhere to the standard of treatment needs to be increased. Asthma is an airway disease. Inhalation therapy can directly act on the airway, which provides protection for the control of asthma. Patients must keep in mind daily standardized treatment.

In order to cope with the emergencies of closure and control due to the epidemic, Professor Shen Huahao suggested that patients with asthma and chronic a respiratory diseases such as asthma and slow pulmonary disease should be prepared for 4 months to prevent the progress of the disease.
