What is emergency care for respiratory failure?

Emergency care for respiratory failure includes maintaining airway patency, correcting hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention, maintaining circulatory stability, controlling infection, treating the underlying disease, nutritional support, and close observation. Respiratory failure is a serious disease that requires prompt emergency care. The following are emergency care for respiratory failure: 1. Keep airway patency: Remove secretions, vomit, etc. from the mouth and nose to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If the patient has difficulty breathing, oxygen inhalation or mechanical ventilation can be used. 2. Correct hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention: Depending on the patient's condition, appropriate oxygen inhalation or mechanical ventilation can be given to correct hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention. 3. Maintain circulatory stability: Monitor the patient's heart rate, blood pressure and other vital signs, timely supplement blood volume, correct shock and other complications. 4. Control infection: According to the patient's condition, use antibiotics and other drugs to control infection. 5. Treatment of primary diseases: Actively treat primary diseases causing respiratory failure, such as pneumonia, heart failure, etc. 6. Nutritional support: Give patients appropriate nutritional support to improve the patient's immunity and resistance.7. Closely observe the changes in the patient's condition: closely observe the changes in the patient's condition, such as changes in vital signs such as respiration, heart rate, blood pressure, and changes in consciousness, skin color, etc., and adjust the treatment plan in time. In short, respiratory failure emergency care needs to consider the patient's condition, vital signs and other conditions, and take corresponding measures to improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients.
