Lump sputum

Patients with old chronic branch with emphysema sometimes have excessive infection of tracheal mucus, inflammatory leukocytes and exfoliated epithelial cells due to severe infection, forming a large amount of massive sputum, thereby blocking the airway and causing asphyxia. When this happens, the family should immediately press the patient's tongue with a spoon handle, use gauze-covered fingers to reach his throat, and pull out the blocked sputum for the purpose of first aid.
