Acute respiratory failure in COPD:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
ARF in patients with COPD is an emergency that requires cautious O2 therapy (using nasal prongs or Venturi mask) to raise the PaO2. In patients with chronic hypercapnia, O2 therapy can cause hypoventilation by increasing Paco2 and decreasing the respiratory drive, necessitating mechanical ventilation. The minimum fraction of inspired air (FIO2) required to maintain ventilation or O2 saturation greater than 85% to 90% should be used. If significant uncompensated respiratory acidosis or unrefractory hypoxemia exists, mechanical ventilation (through an endotracheal [ET] or a tracheostomy tube) or noninvasive ventilation (with a face or nose mask) may be necessary. Treatment routinely includes antibiotics for infection, bronchodilators, and possibly steroids.
Acute respiratory failure:
Treatment (Tx)
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Oxygen therapy, antibiotics, supportive care (bed rest, nutritional therapy, fluid replacement)
Acute respiratory failure in COPD:
Treatment
(Handbook of Diseases)
In a COPD patient, ARF is an emergency that requires cautious oxygen therapy (using nasal prongs or a Venturi mask) to raise the patient’s Pao2. If significant respiratory acidosis persists, a bidirectional positive-pressure airway mask over the oronasal region or mechanical ventilation through an endotracheal or a tracheostomy tube may be necessary. High-frequency ventilation may be used if the patient doesn’t respond to conventional mechanical ventilation. Treatment routinely includes an antibiotic for infection, a bronchodilator, an anxiolytic and, possibly, a steroid.
Discussion of treatments for Anoxia:
Treatment of anoxia and hypoxia consists of establishing an adequate airway as soon as possible, using enough oxygen to saturate the blood, supporting the cardiovascular system as needed, and preventing or treating pneumonia. Respiratory assistance may be necessary. (Source: excerpt from NINDS Anoxia-Hypoxia Information Page: NINDS)Find a Therapist or Health Professional
