Pulmonary Health

Dear Sir, My mom 75 presently facing acute ILD with Lung function 25-30%. Oxygen full day . Having 15 mg Steroid ( 10 mg morning + 5 mg in the evening) per day. She is not having regular food. Right now she is bed ridden. I would like to know what is the remedy for this. I shall be highly obliged if you can reply to me by mail . My mail id : natarajan17@gmail.com Mobile : 91+ 097730 49050

A pulse oximeter provides non-invasive testing of oxygen saturation levels in the blood.

it desrupt both perfusion and diffusion in lungs

A pulmonary emboli is a blood clot, air bubble or a hard protein which was carried to the lung via the blood stream. The source of such blood clots may originate from fatty tissues released into the blood stream as a result of a fracture. A frequent cause for clots are extensive sitting during long flights without movement. Additional causes are: heat strokes, obesity, burns and electrocution. Signs: Shortness of breath, focused chest pains while breathing, dropping of blood pressure, faster heart beat, cold sweat, pale skin turning to blue, nausea and vomiting. Can evolve into cardiac shock and heart failure. Care: call for ambulance, provide oxygen, have victim sit or lie down based on shortness of breath (sitting makes it easier to breath) and blood pressure (if too low - lie down).

1. Administer Oxygen

2. Decrease preload by getting patient to sit upright and dangle legs over side of bed, this decreased blood return to heart

3. Relieve anxiety, decreasing sympathetic drive.

4. Administer medication safely to reduce preload, afterload and contractility of the heart

5. Reduce movements of the patient, to decrease oxygen demands.

If your health care professional prescribes it. But you should not take antibiotics without an examination or a prescription. There is still some risk in taking medicines like antibiotics when they are not really necessary to you by way of side effects, and to the community with creation of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. So, you should be sure that the congestion and cough are due to a bacterial infection or the antibiotic may be an unnecessary risk. These drugs are not effective for treating viruses, like the cold or flu, or allergies, which also can have similar symptoms. Only a health examination can determine what treatment is needed.

Yes. This happened to me. I thought I was having a lighter, longer period which lasted a whole week. I didn't find out until my period was due the following month that I was pregnant. I thought I was four weeks pregnant. Several weeks later during an ultrasound I was informed that I was four weeks further along than I had thought. I had mistaken the implantation bleeding for my period! No where in any of my research did I see anything about implantation bleeding lasting that long. Most of the information I found said it lasts hours or possibly a day and only 1/4 of women experience implantation bleeding.

Yes, it is harmful. Anti-freeze is a poisonous mixture of chemicals, and it can cause dizziness, or worse, more permanent effects. It is sometimes used as an inhalant, which is a type of drug and is very bad for you. Try to avoid anti-freeze fumes as much as you can.

Both of them are arteries. Pulmonary artery supplies blood to lungs whereas Aorta supplies blood to all other parts of the body. Both of them are the outlets of the heart. Pulmonary artery is a part of pulmonary circulation while Aorta is a part of systemic circulation.

The medical term for the windpipe is trachea.
It is called "TRACHEA"

The "windpipe" is the colloquial term for the trachea, a tube connecting the throat to the lungs.

If you happen to fall into a body of water (or if someone throws you in) while you are asleep, then yes, you could wake up drowning. This doesn't happen very often.

Discoid atelectasis appears as a plate-like or disc-shaped shadow on the lungs which can be horizontal or linear. This indicates that a part of the lung has collapsed, preventing proper re-inflation and airflow in the area.

About 98% is normal, no matter what a person's age is.

Coal has Tar, which is a carcinogen. Also incomplete burning of Coal emits Carbon Monoxide, which is a respiratory poison.

There are many causes that will make ones lungs shrink. Some of the causes may include old age, doing aerobic exercises, and smoking.

According to the US National Institutes of Health site (see link in related links section), the only recommendation found about foods and nutrition in bronchiectasis includes getting plenty of fluids and eating a healthy diet while following a healthy lifestyle. Avoid sodium, solid fats, processed grains, and sugar:

A healthy lifestyle also involves following a healthy diet. A healthy diet includes a variety of vegetables and fruits. It also includes whole grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy products, and protein foods, such as lean meats, poultry without skin, seafood, processed soy products, nuts, seeds, beans, and peas.

A healthy diet is low in sodium (salt), added sugars, solid fats, and refined grains. Solid fats are saturated fat and trans fatty acids. Refined grains come from processing whole grains, which results in a loss of nutrients (such as dietary fiber).

Staying hydrated also is important. Drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, helps prevent airway mucus from becoming thick and sticky.

More from nih.gov about bronchiectasis:

Bronchiectasis (brong-ke-EK-tah-sis) is a condition in which damage to the airways causes them to widen and become flabby and scarred. The airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs.

Bronchiectasis often is caused by an infection or other condition that injures the walls of the airways or prevents the airways from clearing mucus. Mucus is a slimy substance. It helps remove inhaled dust, bacteria, and other small particles from the airways.

In bronchiectasis, your airways slowly lose their ability to clear out mucus. The mucus builds up, and bacteria begin to grow. This leads to repeated, serious lung infections.

Each infection causes more damage to the airways. Over time, the airways can't properly move air in and out of the lungs. As a result, the body's vital organs might not get enough oxygen.

Still more about bronchiectasis:

Bronchiectasis is a lung condition where your child's bronchi become too wide and build up mucus in them. Your child's bronchi are medium-sized airways (tubes) that carry air in and out of his lungs. Your child's lungs make mucus to trap and remove germs and irritants that he breathes in. The mucus made in his lungs is also called phlegm and sputum. Your child's airways are lined with ciliated cells that help move the mucus out of his lungs. With bronchiectasis, your child's airways are damaged and he will have trouble clearing the mucus out. The mucus stays in his airways and germs may grow in it, causing new and repeated lung infections. Over time, this can cause your child's airways to swell, stretch out, and scar.

If you are referring to the valve that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle, it is called the mitral valve.

A pulmonary embolism is defined as complete or partial obstruction of pulmonary blood flow to a distal portion of the lung, by a plug brought via blood from another vessel.

Symptoms vary. Some die without ever feeling any symptoms. Others have an onset of dyspnea (difficulty breathing) and sharp chest pain. These are two of the most common symptoms of a pulmonary embolism.

Other symptoms include feeling of apprehension, a non-productive cough, hemoptysis (cough with blood), tachypnea (fast breathing rate), tachycardia (fast heart rate), hypoxemia, rhonchi, wheezing, friction rub, atelectasis, and decreased local breath sounds.

A change in respiratory rate or tidal volume.... meaning, respiratory rate decreases, maybe becomes apneic, or the tidal volume decreases...or maybe BOTH.

dehydration, heat stroke, and eventual death

Exercise regularly. Exercise increases blood circulation and oxygen levels. Walking, swimming and jogging are just a few exercises to help increase oxygen saturation.

Lose weight and stop/quit smoking.

In a medical situation, you can improve oxygen saturation by providing breathing oxygen.
