Patient's question:
What are the nursing measures for chronic bronchitis and emphysema? Is it best to have the elderly receive professional treatment in the hospital?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, first, if the patient currently has chronic bronchitis and emphysema, it is mainly considered that the patient's lung function is relatively poor. Therefore, in this case, it is recommended that the patient needs to increase physical activity, and it is also necessary to provide continuous low-flow oxygen when necessary. Additionally, attention should be paid to preventing colds and avoiding catching colds, which may lead to acute exacerbation of bronchitis and worsen the patient's shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.
