Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of Huangqi granules combined with external treatment on the clinical therapeutic effects of typeⅡand Ⅲ stress injuries. Methods A total of 240 patients with typeⅡ andⅢ pressure injuries admitted to the Hengshui People's Hospital from January 2017 to March 2019 were enrolled. According to difference in therapeutic methods, the patients were divided into astragalus mongholicus granule group and routine treatment of Western medicine group, with 120 cases in each group. In both groups, the patients were given routine nursing treatment such as air cushion bed, regular body turn-over, nutrition support, health education, etc;in routine Western medicine treatment group, according to the principle of aseptic dressing change, the wounds were treated and covered with foam dressing; while in the astragalus mongholicus granule group, the routine nursing care and sterile dressing as above mentioned were also applied, additionally 3 bags of oral astragalus mongholicus granules mixed with boiled water each time, twice a day (equivalent to 10 g for each bag of Chinese herbal slices), 7 days as one course of treatment; at the same time, the wound was sterilized, debrided and washed with normal saline, and after drying, the rubber Shengji ointment for promoting growth of tissue was evenly spread on the wound and covered with foam dressing. In the two groups, the changes of pressure ulcer healing evaluation scale (PUSH) scores before treatment and 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after treatment, as well as the differences in wound healing time and clinical efficacy between the two groups after treatment were observed, and the recurrence rate was followed up for 10 weeks. Results Compared with routine Western medicine group, the Ⅱand Ⅲ wound healing times were significantly reduced in the astragalus mongholicus granule group [the days of wound healing for Ⅱ stress injury (days): 7.81±1.40 vs. 16.52±1.89, the days of wound healing for Ⅲ stress injury (days): 14.60±1.50 vs. 20.23±1.27, both P < 0.05]. With the prolongation of therapeutic time, the PUSH scores of two groups decreased gradually, there was no significant difference in the PUSH scores between the two groups before treatment and 7 days after treatment (both P > 0.05); after 14 days of treatment, the PUSH score of astragalus mongholicus granule group was significantly lower than that of the routine western medicine group (7.82±1.93 vs. 9.96±1.89), and lasted until 28 days (4.16±0.47 vs. 5.29±0.57), the differences being statistically significant (both P < 0.05). The total effective rate of the astragalus mongholicus granule group was significantly higher than that of the routine western medicine treatment group [99.41% (171/172) vs. 74.51% (114/153), P < 0.05], and the recurrence rate of the mongholicus granule group was obviously lower than the routine Western medicine treatment [3.60% (5/139) vs. 17.74% (11/62), P < 0.05]. Conclusion Oral astragalus mongholicus granules combined with myocreatic ointment external therapy can effectively shorten the healing time of type Ⅱand Ⅲ stress injury, improve the cure rate and reduce the recurrence rate.
