Application of High Quality Nursing Combined with Budesonide in Elderly Patients with Chronic Bronchial Pneumonia and Emphysema

Abstract

Abstract

Background: Bronchial pneumonia is a type of pneumonia resulting from inflammation in the alveoli. Someone with bronchopneumonia may have experienced moderate to severe breathing trouble, sometimes leading to death as their lungs may not function properly due to inflammation. It is a disease that is fairly common in the elderly, with high morbidity and mortality rates.

Objective: This experiment explores a scientific and efficient diagnosis and treatment method for treating pneumonia in elderly patients.

Methods: The study was conducted among 110 patients with fifty-five patients in the conventional group, treated with conventional medication and care. The intervention group added budesonide and salbutamol to the conventional group and conducted nursing according to the PDCA – (plan–do–check–act or plan–do–check–adjust) cycle method. Detailed records and comparisons were carried out for hyperthermia, asphyxiation, cough, lung dry and wet rales, arterial blood oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), arterial blood oxygen saturation (SaO2) indexes, and serums from the subjects in the routine and research groups

Results and Discussions: IL-6 and TNF-α showed that the cure rate of the patients in the research group was 23.63% higher than that of the conventional group, and the inefficiency was 5.46% lower in the research group. Analysis of the difference in treatment effect was significant. The results indicate that budesonide and salbutamol treat inflammation and the use of high-quality care has a positive effect on patients with bronchitis, which promotes alveolar ventilation, improves oxygen deficiency, and relieves symptoms of asphyxiation.

Conclusion: It is visible from the experiment above that two drugs, namely budesonide, and salbutamol effectively address bronchial inflammation and therefore, it can relieve the symptoms of pneumonia, thereby improving the overall health and well being of the patients.
