Justification of the Principles of Emergency Care for Acute Pneumonia
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The action of modern emergency care for patients with AP, on the one hand, requires a wait-and-see period, which is unacceptable in cases of rapidly progressing inflammation. On the other hand, it uses methods that do not take into account the features of the disease mechanisms. All this creates conditions for an excess of complications and treatment failures. The accumulated facts on this problem indicate the need to revise the principles of treatment. Consequently, the most important initial step in this direction seems to be the correction of professional views in accordance with the classical provisions of medical science.
