Respiratory failure is treated primarily

The key to the treatment of respiratory failure is to correct hypoxia and hypercapnia, pay attention to the correction of acid-base imbalance and electrolyte disorder, and also to treat the cause and closely monitor the condition. Correction of hypoxemia and hypercapnia is the key to treating respiratory failure. If hypoxemia exists, high concentration oxygen should be given to correct hypoxia. If hypercapnia exists, mechanical ventilation should be given to improve ventilation function. During treatment, attention should also be paid to correction of acid-base imbalance and electrolyte imbalance. If acidosis occurs, alkaline medications should be given to correct it. If electrolyte disturbances occur, supplements or adjustments should be made as appropriate. In addition, treatment should be directed to the cause. If respiratory failure is caused by lung infection, anti-infective therapy should be given; if heart failure is caused, cardiotonic, diuretic, etc. should be given. For patients with respiratory failure, vital signs and blood gas analysis should be closely monitored, and treatment options should be adjusted in time according to changes in the condition. At the same time, nursing care should be strengthened to keep respiratory tract unobstructed and prevent complications. In short, the treatment of respiratory failure requires comprehensive consideration of various factors and targeted treatment measures to improve the treatment effect and improve the prognosis of patients.
