In COPD patients lung disorders causes patients to retain the carbon dioxide. This causes a state of hypercapnia. It is a state of acidosis. These patients are managed by oxygen therapy. In acute settings saturation of patients of COPD should be maintained at 88-92 %. Oxygen therapy is done in controlled manner to prevent worsening acidosis. Patients are given 24% oxygen via venturi mask at 2-3 L/min or 28% via venturi mask at 4 L/min. Check ABGs for results in 30-60 minutes after therapy. Chronic COPD patients are treated same way and if on ABGs PaCO2 is normal, oxygen supplemental should be increased to 94 to 96%. Oxygen therapy should be given as an adjunct therapy to other medications as well. Therapy should be stopped when the patient is clinically improved and ABGs support is present.

I’ve been living with COPD for quite some time, and for years, I struggled to find lasting relief. While conventional medications provided temporary help, the symptoms always returned and often got worse.Out of a mix of hope and hesitation, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. But around the fourth month, I began to notice real, steady progress:My breathing became easier the tightness in my chest lessened my energy levels slowly started to return It wasn’t an overnight transformation, but it was consistent and truly life changing. For the first time in years, I feel more in control of my health. I can breathe more freely, sleep more peacefully, and enjoy daily life without the constant fatigue and breathlessness I once accepted as normal.The improvements I’ve experienced physically, emotionally, and mentally have been nothing short of uplifting.If you’re exploring natural options for managing COPD, I wholeheartedly recommend NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Their approach has made a real difference in my life, and I’m genuinely grateful I gave it a chance.www.naturepathherbalclinic.com info@naturepathherbalclinic.com
