What's going on with hypostatic pneumonia?

Hypostatic pneumonia is pulmonary inflammation in patients with long-term bed rest and weakened respiratory function, which is good for patients with long-term bed rest and weakened respiratory function. It is mainly caused by long-term bed rest, respiratory function weakening, bacterial breeding, etc., manifested as fever, cough, expectoration, dyspnea, etc. It is treated by anti-infection treatment, cough and phlegm reduction, supportive treatment, prevention of complications, etc. Prevention is better than treatment. Measures such as turning over regularly, patting back and encouraging patients to cough should be taken to prevent. Hypostatic pneumonia is caused by a variety of causes of lung inflammation, good in patients with long-term bed rest, respiratory function is weakened. The following is a detailed introduction about hypostatic pneumonia: 1. What is hypostatic pneumonia? Hypostatic pneumonia is caused by long-term bed rest, lung secretions are not easy to cough up, leading to bacterial growth, lung inflammation. 2. What are the causes of hypostatic pneumonia?(1) Long-term bed rest: slow down the blood circulation of the lungs, sputum in the trachea is not easy to cough up, easy to breed bacteria.(2) Respiratory function weakened: elderly, chronic disease patients and other respiratory function is weak, cough weakness, can also lead to sputum accumulation.(3) Other factors: Such as low immune function, malnutrition, consciousness disorders, etc., can also increase the risk of hypostatic pneumonia. 3. What are the symptoms of hypostatic pneumonia? The main symptoms include fever, cough, expectoration, dyspnea, etc. The symptoms of the elderly and patients with chronic diseases may be atypical and easily overlooked. 4. How to diagnose hypostatic pneumonia? The doctor will make a diagnosis based on the patient's symptoms, medical history, physical examination, and laboratory results. Chest X-ray or CT examination can help detect lung inflammation.5. How to treat hypoplastic pneumonia? Treatment mainly includes the following aspects: (1) Anti-infection treatment: According to the results of bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, choose the appropriate antibiotics for treatment.(2) Cough and phlegm: use cough and phlegm drugs to help patients cough up sputum.(3) Support treatment: give nutritional support, oxygen therapy, etc. to maintain the patient's vital signs.(4) Prevention of complications: pay attention to turning over, patting the back, promoting sputum discharge, preventing pressure sores and other complications. 6. How to prevent hypostatic pneumonia?(1) Encourage patients to get out of bed early, take deep breaths and cough effectively.(2) Assist patients to turn over and pat their backs to promote sputum discharge.(3) Keep respiratory tract unobstructed and clean oral secretions in time.(4) Strengthen nutritional support to improve patients' immunity.(5) Regularly perform lung function exercises. 7. What is the prognosis of hypostatic pneumonia? Most cases are curable with aggressive treatment, but the prognosis may be poor if the patient is older and the underlying disease is severe. In summary, hypostatic pneumonia is a common infectious lung disease and prevention is better than treatment. For long-term bedridden patients, active preventive measures should be taken, such as turning over regularly, patting the back, encouraging the patient to cough, etc., to reduce the occurrence of hypostatic pneumonia. If fever, cough and other symptoms occur, seek medical attention in time for early diagnosis and early treatment.
