Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of hypertonic saline in the treatment of children with critical hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD).Methods The 250 pediatric patients with HFMD hospitalized from January 2011 to Januar-y 2013 in our hospital were randomized into the control group treated routinely and the experimental group treated with hyper-tonic saline on the basis of general conventional treatment .The therapeutic effect and sodium ion concentration in the children of two groups were observed and compared.Results The treatment effect of the experimental group was obviously better than that of the control group (p<0.05).Sodium ion concentration and incidence of adverse reactions in two groups before treat-ment showed no significant differences (p>0.05), while the sodium ion concentration of the experimental group was much higher than that of the control group on the 4th and 6th treatment day (p<0.05).Conclusion Hypertonic saline treatment can significantly enhance the therapeutic effect, increase the sodium ion concentration and improve the prognosis in children with critical HFMD.Therefore, hypertonic saline treatment for patients with clinical HFMD has a very important clinical sig-nificance and it is worth popularization and application.
