Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of nebulized inhalation of ipratropium bromide and ambroxol hydrochloride (mucosolvan) on pulmonary function in elderly patients who need thoracotomy.Methods From June 2011 to December 2011,a total of 60 elderly patients undergoing thoracotomy were randomly divided into 2 groups:the treatment group (n =30) and control group (n=30).The patients in treatment group were treated with ipratropium bromide 0.5 mg and mucosolvan 15 mg diluted in 5 ml saline for inhalation with an oxygen flow rate of 6 L/min,15 min,3 times/d,and the patients in control group were treated with ipratropium bromide 0.5 mg diluted in 5 ml saline for inhalation with an oxygen flow rate of 6 L/min,15 min,3 times/d.The resting lung function in patients was measured before nebulization treatment.After 3 days treatment,the resting lung function was measured again,and vital capacity (VC),forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1),FEV1 ％,maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) were recorded.Results After 3 days treatment,the indicators of lung function including VC,FEV1,FEV1 ％,MVV were significantly increased in both groups (P＜0.01).The increase in VC,FEV1,FEV1 ％,MVV were significantly higher in the treatment group [(0.39±0.08)L,(0.20±0.10)L,(10.61±4.66)％,(10.24±5.07)L,respectively] than in control group [(0.31±0.05)L,(0.13±0.06)L,(7.40±3.89)％,(6.76±3.70)L,respectively] (t=4.81,3.64,4.13,3.48,all P＜0.05).The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was lower in treatment group[16.7 ％ (5/30)] than in control group [30.0 ％ (9/30)] (x2=11.45,P＜0.05).Conclusions The nebulized inhalation of ipratropium bromide and ambroxol hydrochoride can improve the lung function in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgery,better withstand the thoracotomy and decrease the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications.
