Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Qingfei-Xiaoyan Decoction combined with anti infective mechanical ventilation in the treatment of senile severe pneumonia. Methods:A total of 102 patients with severe pneumonia in our hospital from June 2018 to May 2021 who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups by random number table method, with 51 in each group. The control group was treated with anti-infection mechanical ventilation, and the study group was treated with Qingfei-Xiaoyan Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks. TCM syndrome scores were performed before and after treatment. The severity of infection was evaluated by clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS), FVC, FEV1 and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were detected by pulmonary function meter, and the levels of TNF-α, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and CRP were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, adverse events were recorded and clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The total effective rate was 94.1% (48/51) in the study group and 80.4% (41/51) in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.320, P=0.038). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score and CPIS score of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group ( t values were 14.203 and 11.403, respectively, all Ps<0.01), FVC, FEV1 and PEF in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t values were 4.663, 3.451 and 13.220, respectively, all Ps<0.01), and the levels of serum CRP, TNF-α and HMGB1 in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 14.672, 10.277 and 24.453, respectively, all Ps<0.01). During the treatment, no serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:Qingfei-Xiaoyan Decoction combined with anti-infective mechanical ventilation has a significant effect in the treatment of senile severe pneumonia. It can alleviate clinical symptoms, improve lung function, reduce inflammatory reaction with safety.
