Abstract:
Objective The study was designed to investigate the effect of atomization inhalation of Qingjin-Huatandecoction on prevention of elderly patients’ postoperative pulmonary complications after thoracotomy.MethodsA total of 60 elderly patients with thoracotomy were randomized into 2 groups. Both groups of patients were treated with oxygen uptake, anti-infection, antispasmodic, analgesic, and nutritional support. Based on the conventional treatment, the control group was added with atomization inhalation of mucosolvan and dexamethasone, while the treatment group with atomization inhalation ofQingjin-Huatan decoction. The volume of phlegm, serum CRP, TNF-α level and absolute neutrophil count (ANC), arterial blood gasanalysis, and records of the pulmonary complications were meausred.Results The pH value at Day 3 (7.39 ± 0.06vs. 7.36 ± 0.05,t=2.120), the PaO2at Day 3 (86.51 ± 3.96 mmHgvs. 84.07 ± 3.51 mmHg,t=2.520) and Day 5 (92.27 ± 2.94 mmHgvs. 90.40 ± 3.08 mmHg,t=2.400) of treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group; the PaCO2at Day 3 (44.57 ± 2.53 mmHgvs. 46.39 ± 3.35 mmHg,t=2.390) and Day 5 (40.77 ± 2.48 mmHgvs. 42.42 ± 3.33 mmHg,t=2.130) of treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group. The serum CRP at Day 3(8.26 ± 2.38 mg/Lvs. 9.76 ± 2.37 mg/L,t=2.440) and Day 5 (6.94 ± 1.76 mg/Lvs. 8.15 ± 2.38 mg/L,t=2.250), the ANC at Day 3 (8.54 ± 1.85)×109/Lvs. (9.58 ± 1.94)×109/L, t=2.140) and Day 5 (6.54 ± 1.85)×109/Lvs. (7.58 ± 1.95)×109/L,t=2.160), the serum TNF-a at Day 5 (7.54 ± 1.38 mg/Lvs. 8.43 ± 1.36 mg/L,t=2.540) of treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group. The sputum volume at Day 3 (50.74 ± 18.46 ml/dvs. 59.92 ± 15.25 ml/d,t=2.099) and Day 5 (39.64 ± 18.21 ml/dvs. 48.99 ± 13.55 ml/d,t=2.256) of treatment group was lower than that of the control group. At Day 5, the pneumonia (3.33%vs. 20.00%,t=4.043) and the atelectasis (6.67%vs. 26.77%,t=4.320) of treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).ConclusionAtomization inhalation ofQingjin-Huatandecoction can improve pulmonary function of postoperative pulmonary complications of elderly patients after thoracotomy, take control of inflammation and the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications.
