Abstract:
This study was aimed to compare different preparation methods of Wei-Chang Fu-Yuan (WCFY) De-coction, which is a self-made traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction of our hospital, through the investiga-tion of difference in recovery time of gastrointestinal function after gynecological abdominal surgery. A total of 120 cases after gynecological abdominal surgery in our hospital between 2011 and 2012 were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group, with 60 cases in each group. The hospital self-made WCFY Decoction was given to patients 8 hours after surgery in the treatment group and control group. Decoctions given to two groups were prepared with different methods. Decoction given to the treatment group was by the decoction ma-chine of multiple decoctions preparation. Decoction given to the control group was prepared as the traditional sin-gle dose decoction. The first anus flatus time was observed in both groups. The results showed that the flatus time of treatment group was 16 h and that of the control group was 13 h. The flatus time of patients from two groups was in skewed distribution, so the distance between the median and quartile was used to describe. The non-para-metric tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov method) were used in the comparison of flatus time of two groups. There was statistical significance between two groups (P < 0.05). It was concluded that different preparation methods affect the clinical efficacy of WCFY Decoction. Compared with the traditional single dose decoction, the fist flatus time was postponed 3 hours by the decoction machine of multiple decoctions preparation. Therefore, with the widely using of decoction machine of multiple decoctions preparation today, the function of decoction machine should be improved and the program should be perfected in order to increase the clinical efficacy of this preparation method.
