冬春季节,由于气候变化,许多老年慢性支气管炎患者往往病情反复发作,咳嗽气急,胸闷胸痛,昼夜不休,十分痛苦。经过治疗症状可控制,但有的老年人由于缺少必要的康复保健知识难以提高抵抗力,致使一年四季复发数次。最经济简便实效的康复保健是改善肺功能,以减少老年慢性支气管炎发作。改善肺功能的办法之一是坚持练习腹式呼吸。方法是首先放松全身肌肉,呼气时使腹部下陷,吸气时则鼓腹,使吸气较呼气时间长些,以便加速呼出的气流,减少肺泡内的残气,注意吸深呼缓。这样可以有效地增加血中的氧含量,降低二氧化碳含量。这种腹式呼吸能达到增加横膈肌的活动,改善肺 Winter and spring, due to climate change, many elderly patients with chronic bronchitis are often recurrent illness, cough and shortness of breath, chest pain, endless day and night, very painful. After the treatment of symptoms can be controlled, but some elderly due to lack of necessary knowledge of rehabilitation health is difficult to increase resistance, resulting in recurrence throughout the year several times. The most economical and effective rehabilitation health care is to improve lung function, in order to reduce the incidence of senile chronic bronchitis. One way to improve lung function is to practice abdominal breathing. The method is to relax the muscles of the body first, make the abdomen sag when exhaling, when the inspiratory air drum, make the inspiratory time longer than expiration, in order to accelerate the exhaled air flow, reduce the residual alveolar gas, pay attention to deep breathing. This can effectively increase the blood oxygen content, reduce carbon dioxide content. This abdominal breathing can achieve increased diaphragmatic activity, improve the lungs
