Silicosis - Medical Treatment & Recommendations

There is no cure for silicosis. The prognosis for patients with chronic silicosis is generally good. Acute silicosis, however, may progress rapidly to respiratory failure and death. Therapy is intended to relieve symptoms, treat complications, and prevent respiratory infections. It includes careful monitoring for signs of TB. Respiratory symptoms may be treated with bronchodilators, increased fluid intake, steam inhalation, and physical therapy. Patients with severe breathing difficulties may be given oxygen therapy or placed on a mechanical ventilator. Acute silicosis may progress to complete respiratory failure. Heart-lung transplants are the only hope for some silicosis patients.

Silicosis Medical Care and Recommendations:
  • Most all experts agree all patients should prevent further exposure to free silica dust
  • Silicosis patients need to also avoid other dusty environments especially areas of high concentrations of heated exhaust fumes
  • Silicosis/ Lung Specialists often advise patients to quit smoking and provide help in smoking cessation efforts.
  • Silicosis patients get immunized against influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia.
  • No specific therapy for silicosis cures or alters the course of the disease.
  • According to the latest literature, there are some experimental approaches to silicosis treatment  which include whole-lung lavage, aluminum inhalation, and corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are included in this list because evidence as to its benefit in chronic silicosis is insufficient.
  • Many silicosis patients that have latent tuberculosis infections (ie, positive tuberculin skin test result without active disease) are  treated with isoniazid
  • If the doctors diagnosed silicosis with active tuberculosis (ie, Mycobacterium tuberculosis identified in smear or culture) then that patient  is usually treated very aggressively with the appropriate TB drugs.

Silicosis Attorney

How could I have gotten silicosis if I always worn a paper dust mask ? What type of respirator works to prevent silica exposure ? Do I have a case if I never worn any type of protection at all ?
(Silica Exposure)

Silicosis Lawyer

I never saw any silicosis warnings on any sand products, paper dust masks, hoods or sandblasting pots or any equipment until a few years ago. Are any of these companies responsible for failing to warn me about the hazards of silicosis ?
(Silica Warnings)

Silicosis Lawyer

Why do sandblasters get silicosis so often ? If I wear a paper mask under my hood will I be safe ? Can other people such as painters and other construction workers be exposed to silica dust 20 - 50 yds away from where I am sandblasting ? Is there a safe amount of silica that one can breath ? Is there a safe way to sandblast without getting silicosis ?
(Sandblasting)

Silicosis Lawyer

Besides shortness of breath, loss of appetite and chest pains are there any other symptoms for silicosis lung disease ? What types of medical tests are available to diagnose silicosis ? Is there a medical cure or any effective treatment for silicosis ?
