Interstitial pneumonia can not be cured at present, and it is mainly treated by drugs and surgery, such as glucocorticoid, immunosuppressant and antioxidant. For terminal pulmonary fibrosis represented by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung transplantation has become the most effective treatment method, supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine, with nourishing lung and kidney, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, detoxifying and resolving phlegm as the main treatment principles, supplemented by oxygen therapy and other treatment methods.
In addition to medical treatment and surgical treatment, Chinese medicine treatment is also a very good method. Because there is no effective drug treatment in western medicine so far, the toxic and side effects of hormones and immunosuppressants limit its clinical application. The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine provides a new medical approach for this worldwide refractory disease, but as far as the current domestic research situation is concerned, it is still in its infancy. Treatment should be based on nourishing lung and kidney, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, detoxifying and resolving phlegm, and making treatment plans according to individual conditions.
And then rehabilitation:
(1) Physical function exercise and respiratory function exercise need dumbbells, treadmills, rowing machines and other common fitness equipment, as well as upper and lower limb active and passive trainers, inspiratory and expiratory resistance trainers and other medical equipment.
(2) Rehabilitation treatment of patients with pulmonary interstitial diseases should be carried out by professional doctors, preferably under the supervision of medical staff, especially patients who receive rehabilitation treatment for the first time.
(3) Before receiving rehabilitation treatment, the patient's cardiopulmonary function should be carefully evaluated, including vital signs, electrocardiogram, color Doppler echocardiography, routine pulmonary function, arterial blood gas and cardiopulmonary exercise test. According to the results of cardiopulmonary exercise test, the target threshold and safety range of patients' exercise are determined, and the demand for oxygen therapy during exercise is understood, so as to make a personalized rehabilitation exercise plan for each patient, including exercise intensity and time, exercise equipment, oxygen flow and so on.
(4) In the subsequent exercise training, it is necessary to continuously monitor the patient's cardiopulmonary function (mainly including electrocardiogram and pulse oxygen saturation) and give real-time feedback to adjust the exercise plan and oxygen flow.
