秋冬氣溫轉涼,慢性肺病患者感染呼吸道疾病後可能加劇咳嗽、呼吸困難,甚至誘發急性惡化或肺炎。
台灣慢性阻塞性肺病學會及台灣氣喘學會理事長林鴻銓分享,兩學會接軌國際指引,制定涵蓋5大呼吸道疾病的疫苗接種建議,協助慢性肺病患者提前做好感染預防。
〔健康頻道/綜合報導〕秋冬氣溫轉涼,慢性肺病患者更要慎防呼吸道感染!醫師提醒,慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)、氣喘患者一旦感染,不只可能加劇咳嗽、呼吸困難,更可能誘發急性惡化、肺炎甚至住院,打亂原有疾病控制。因此除穩定治療,也應將流感、新冠肺炎、肺炎鏈球菌、RSV及百日咳5大疫苗納入感染預防,並建議依患者年齡、疾病狀況、既往接種史及個別風險進行評估,透過醫病共享決策規劃適合的接種方案。
為強化慢性肺病患者的感染預防,台灣慢性阻塞性肺病學會與台灣氣喘學會今(5)日共同公布「台灣慢性阻塞性肺病與氣喘患者呼吸道疫苗接種建議」,整合流感、新冠肺炎、肺炎鏈球菌、呼吸道細胞融合病毒(RSV)及百日咳「5大疫苗」,並綜整國際指引、醫學實證與台灣臨床情境,提供在地化接種參考,期望將疫苗接種納入慢性肺病長期管理,推動從穩定治療到感染預防的完整照護。
兩學會倡5大疫苗強化防護
研究顯示,COPD患者合併接種流感及肺炎鏈球菌疫苗後,可降低急性惡化、肺炎及相關住院風險約7成;60歲以上成人接種RSV疫苗,亦可降低COPD患者RSV相關嚴重急性惡化約7成、氣喘患者約6成,顯示適切的疫苗接種有助於降低感染對慢性肺病患者帶來的後續影響。
灣慢性阻塞性肺病學會及台灣氣喘學會創會理事長江啟輝表示,感染是COPD、氣喘患者急性惡化的常見誘因,患者不僅承受疾病本身折磨,也可能增加家庭照護與健保醫療負擔。因此,足夠完整且持續性的照護模式格外重要,同時兼顧疾病預防,將疫苗接種納入照護計畫。
台灣慢性阻塞性肺病學會及台灣氣喘學會理事長林鴻銓進一步指出,高齡者、孕產婦及慢性病患者等族群,一旦發生呼吸道感染,本身面臨重症的風險較高;其中對COPD、氣喘患者而言,一次感染更可能因為誘發急性惡化、打亂原有疾病控制,因此此次接種建議聚焦流感、新冠肺炎、肺炎鏈球菌、RSV及百日咳5大疫苗,並建議依患者年齡、疾病狀況、既往接種史及個別風險進行評估,透過醫病共享決策規劃適合的接種方案。
台灣慢性阻塞性肺病學會理事馮嘉毅補充,對COPD、氣喘患者而言,呼吸道感染帶來的影響往往不只停留在感染當下,更可能導致急性惡化,進而牽動原有穩定的疾病控制。研究顯示,因呼吸道細胞融合病毒(RSV)感染住院的患者中,COPD患者出現急性惡化的比例最高可超過8成,氣喘患者亦可超過6成;另一方面,若COPD患者因急性惡化住院後,即使經過12週,仍有近4成患者身體功能尚未完全恢復。
