COPD patient
Hypoxic drive.
A blood transfusion may be given to a COPD patient to address anemia, which can exacerbate symptoms and reduce oxygen delivery to tissues. By increasing hemoglobin levels, the transfusion can improve oxygenation and overall functional capacity, helping the patient breathe easier and maintain better quality of life. Additionally, in cases of significant blood loss or severe hypoxia, transfusions can be critical for stabilizing the patient's condition.

because elasticity of alveoli is diminished in patient with COPD therefore administering more than 4liters/minute will collapse alveoli and patient may die.
Dilaudid and other opioids often make patients sick regardless of the reason they are given. This is why they are usually given in conjunction with an anti-nausea preparation.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Low oxygen is given to COPD patients primarily to prevent complications associated with hypercapnia, where excess carbon dioxide builds up in the blood. Supplemental oxygen helps alleviate hypoxemia, improving oxygenation without suppressing the patient's respiratory drive. Careful monitoring is essential, as too much oxygen can lead to respiratory depression in these patients. Adjustments are typically made based on blood gas measurements to ensure optimal oxygen levels.
Yes. Having Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is not a contraindication to receiving an influenza vaccination.
