Xinashu rock salt aerosol therapy - a new scheme for lung rehabilitation of pneumoconiosis patients

　　Pneumoconiosis is a disease mainly caused by diffuse fibrosis of lung tissue caused by long-term inhalation of productive mineral dust in occupational activities and retention in the lung. Generally speaking, most patients with early pneumoconiosis have no obvious symptoms and signs, and lung function has no obvious changes. With the progress of the disease, respiratory symptoms such as chest pain, dyspnea and cough, expectoration and wheezing may gradually appear. At present, there are no drugs or measures that can effectively delay or block the progress of pulmonary fibrosis.

　　What is pneumoconiosis rehabilitation?

　　Pulmonary rehabilitation is a core component of chronic respiratory disease management. It is a comprehensive intervention tailored for patients based on a comprehensive assessment of patients' conditions. It is one of the most cost-effective non drug treatments.

　　According to different conditions, a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program is added to the individualized treatment of patients. Through health management, health education, psychological intervention and changing the lifestyle, comprehensive intervention measures such as exercise training, respiratory muscle training, and reasonable nutrition are taken to reserve and improve the respiratory function of patients, delay the progress of the disease, reduce clinical symptoms, alleviate patients' pain, enhance patients' confidence, and maximize the quality of life of patients, Achieve the survival goal of prolonging life with disease.

　　Why should pneumoconiosis patients have lung rehabilitation?

　　Pneumoconiosis patients mainly have respiratory symptoms, often accompanied by general systemic symptoms. Respiratory system symptoms mainly include cough, expectoration, chest pain and dyspnea. In addition, there are chest tightness, wheezing, fatigue and other systemic symptoms, while hemoptysis may be accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis.

　　Coughing and expectoration is the biggest problem in daily life of pneumoconiosis patients.

　　Cough is a common symptom of pneumoconiosis patients, mainly related to complications/complications. The cough of patients with early pneumoconiosis is not obvious, and the occurrence of lung infection or chronic bronchitis can make the cough significantly worse. Smoking patients cough more than non-smokers. A few patients with asthmatic bronchitis show chronic and long-term wheezing.

　　Phlegm is a common symptom of pneumoconiosis patients. Generally, the amount of sputum is not much, but mostly mucus sputum. If combined with chronic bronchitis or pulmonary infection, the amount of sputum can be significantly increased, which is yellow, viscous or massive, and is not easy to cough up.

　　Pneumoconiosis is a chronic and long-term course. For their cough, expectoration, chest pain, dyspnea and other symptoms, the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases should be the basic principle of prevention and treatment, that is, comprehensive health management and health education should be carried out, various complications/complications should be found and treated in time, and comprehensive lung rehabilitation activities should be carried out under medical guidance, which are self-management, self-study, self-training and everyone's participation, In order to alleviate the suffering of pneumoconiosis patients, delay the development of the disease, improve the quality of life and social participation, and extend the life span of patients.

　　What are the lung rehabilitation methods for pneumoconiosis patients?

　　The Chinese Expert Consensus on Pneumoconiosis Lung Rehabilitation (2022 Edition) mentions a variety of lung rehabilitation methods, such as health education, oxygen therapy, respiratory training, respiratory muscle training (diaphragm pacing therapy), sports training, strength training, balance and flexibility training, psychological intervention, nutrition intervention, sleep intervention, swallowing function intervention, airway clearance technology, traditional rehabilitation, and other rehabilitation methods (rock salt aerosol therapy).

　　Sinashu rock salt aerosol therapy: a new scheme for lung rehabilitation of pneumoconiosis patients

　　Sinashu rock salt aerosol therapy is to inhale 1-5 microns of dry salt aerosol particles within a certain concentration range, enter the respiratory tract, bronchial ends and alveoli, and evenly distribute them on the surface of the mucosa, so as to eliminate the edema of the airway mucosa, change the rheological properties of secretions in the airway, promote the repair of mucosal ciliary movement function, enhance the activity of pulmonary macrophages, regulate the respiratory immune function, and improve the immune capacity of the body, Therefore, the method of improving and treating respiratory diseases is effective for the treatment and rehabilitation of pneumoconiosis patients.
