Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of perioperative administration of Ambroxol combined with Ipratropium on elderly lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods 82 lung cancer patients aged ≥70 years who were scheduled for thoracoscopic lung resection were randomly assigned into 2 groups:the observation group(n=42) and the control group(n=40).Patients in the observation group were treated with 90 mg Ambroxol(mucosolvan) by intravenous drip and Ipratropium(atrovent) by atomizing inhalation,while patients in the control group were treated with an equal volume of 0.9％ sodium chloride solution.Pulmonary function and changes of arterial blood gases at admission,before surgery and 5 days after surgery,incidences of postoperative atelectasis and pulmonary infection,the rate of return to the intensive care unit(ICU),and the length of postoperative hospital stay were compared between the 2 groups.Results Compared with the control group,the percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1％),the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second to forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC％),the percent predicted maximum ventilation volume per minute (MVV％),and the arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) were increased in the observation group before surgery [(87.0±8.2)％ vs.(80.6±7.6) ％,(90.4±6.4)％ vs.(81.4±7.0)％,(87.1±5.6)％ vs.(74.6±6.9) ％,(86.6±6.2) mmHg vs.(81.7±6.9)mmHg,t=2.477,2.588,2.937,3.405,respectively,allP＜0.05].TheFEV1％,FEV1/FVC％,MVV％ and PaO2 were higher in the observation group than in the control group 5 days after treatment [(76.4±9.2) ％ vs.(67.3±10.2) ％,(74.7±9.1) ％ vs.(63.0±11.2) ％,(69.5±9.2)％ vs.(60.1±9.2) ％,(79.5±11.5) mmHg vs.(70.1±11.8) mmHg,t 2.583,2.987,2.778,2.666,respectively,all P＜0.05].The incidences of postoperative atelectasis,pulmonary infection and the length of postoperative hospital stay were lower or less in the observation group than in the controlgroup[7.1％ vs.25.0％,11.90％ vs.32.50％,(8.5±1.8) days vs.(12.1±2.6) days,x2=4.897,5.072,2.351,respectively,all P＜0.05].No significant difference in the rate of return to ICU was found between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions The combination of perioperative Ambroxol and Ipratropium can effectively improve lung function by improving ventilation and gas exchange function,reduce postoperative pulmonary complications and shorten the length of postoperative hospital stay in lung cancer patients aged 70 years and over.
