Treatment of acute respiratory failure

Treatment of acute respiratory failure requires a combination of oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, etiological therapy, and supportive care to relieve dyspnea, correct hypoxemia, treat causes, prevent complications, and provide life support. Acute respiratory failure is a serious disease that requires prompt treatment. Patients with acute respiratory failure often require oxygen therapy to correct hypoxemia. Depending on the patient's condition, oxygen may be given by nasal cannula, mask, or mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation: Mechanical ventilation is an important treatment for severe acute respiratory failure. Ventilators assist breathing, helping to expel carbon dioxide and provide oxygen. Etiology Treatment: Active treatment of primary diseases causing acute respiratory failure, such as infection, pneumonia, acute myocardial infarction, etc. Supportive treatment: maintenance of water and electrolyte balance, nutritional support, prevention of complications, etc. Other treatment methods: pulmonary rehabilitation therapy, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), etc., can be selected according to the specific conditions of the patient.2. Treatment requirements Dyspnea relief: patients need to relieve symptoms of dyspnea as soon as possible, improve quality of life.Correct hypoxemia: ensure that the patient's oxygen saturation reaches a normal level, prevent hypoxia damage to body organs.Etiology Treatment: Find and treat the root cause of acute respiratory failure to prevent recurrence. Complications prevention: actively prevent and treat possible complications such as lung infection, heart failure, etc. Life support: in severe cases, life support measures such as mechanical ventilation are required to maintain the patient's life. 3. Core keywords: oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, etiological treatment, supportive treatment, etc. 4. Horizontal classification of the same level answers comprehensive, non-missing and non-partial treatment methods for acute respiratory failure include oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, etiological treatment, supportive treatment, etc., covering the main treatment methods. In terms of treatment needs, the author clarifies the relief of dyspnea, correction of hypoxemia, treatment of etiology, prevention of complications and provision of life support, etc., and comprehensively considers the needs of patients. 5. Key information extraction Treatment of acute respiratory failure requires a combination of methods, including oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, etiological treatment and supportive treatment. The goal of treatment is to relieve dyspnea, correct hypoxemia, treat the cause, prevent complications and provide life support. Oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation are important treatment methods, and etiological treatment and supportive treatment cannot be ignored. For patients with acute respiratory failure, it is very important to seek medical attention in time and treat according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, patients and family members should actively cooperate with the treatment, pay attention to rest and nutrition, and prevent complications. During the treatment process, if there is any discomfort or doubt, they should communicate with the doctor in time.
