Abstract:
Objective To analyze the effect of Shuxuetong injection on microcirculation in patients with septic shock and its therapeutic effect. Methods A prospective study was conducted. Eighty patients with septic shock treated in Department of Critical Care Medicine of Hebei Provincial Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital were randomly divided into a Shuxuetong group and a conventional therapy group according to random number table, 40 cases in each group. The conventional treatment in the two groups was energetically carried out in accord to the sepsis shock guidelines, such as positive fluid resuscitation, anti-infection, etc. In the Shuxuetong group, additionally Shuxuetong injection 6 mL in 5% glucose injection 250 mL intravenous drip was given once a day for 7 days. The levels of urine output, lactic acid (Lac), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and cardiac index (CI) in the two groups were observed before and after treatment; the total dosages of dopamine, dobutamine, noradrenaline, etc. vascoactive agent used for the patients and 28-day mortality in the two groups were also recorded. Results The comparisons of levels of urine output, Lac, BUN, Cr, AST, ALT, LVEF, and CI before treatment between the two groups were of no statistical significant differences (all P>0.05). After treatment in the two groups, the urine output, LVEF, and CI were increased compared with those before treatment, whereas the Lac, BUN, Cr, AST, and ALT were significantly decreased, and the changes were more obvious in Shuxuetong group [urine output (mL/h):112.1±39.8 vs. 73.3±28.5, LVEF:0.49±0.15 vs. 0.44±0.14, CI (mL·s-1·m-2):66.2±5.7 vs. 54.2±6.2, Lac (mmol/L):3.83±1.65 vs. 4.72±2.25, BUN (mmol/L):7.1±2.7 vs. 9.3±3.5, Cr (μmol/L): 73.9±16.2 vs. 95.7±15.8, AST (U/L): 39.8±9.5 vs. 45.8±12.7, ALT (U/L):34.3±9.7 vs. 41.7±11.3, all P<0.05]. The total dosages of all kinds of vascoactive agent of Shuxuetong group were remarkably less than those in the conventional therapy group [dopamine (mg): 993.1±261.7 vs. 1 340.9±356.4, dobutamine (mg):776.2±281.0 vs. 1 049.2±364.3, noradrenaline (mg):56.4±34.6 vs. 107.6±51.3, all P<0.05]. The 28-day mortality of Shuxuetong group was obviously lower than that of conventional therapy group [40.0%(16/40) vs. 60.0%(24/40), P<0.05]. Conclusion Shuxuetong injection can improve the microcirculation perfusion in patients with septic shock and reduce their mortality.
