Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of cedilanid in the treatment of severe pneumonia in infants and the value of preventing heart failure.Methods:A total of 80 children with severe pneumonia admitted to Dezhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received comprehensive treatment, while the observation group was treated with cedilanid (0.01 mg/kg, one-time intravenous injection) on the basis of the control group. The efficacy of both groups was observed after 5 d of treatment. The incidence of heart failure, correction time of heart failure, improvement time of symptoms and signs, and length of hospitalization time were compared between the two groups; the inflammatory markers, myocardial markers and arterial blood gas indexes were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the incidence of heart failure in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 90.0% (36/40) vs. 72.5% (29/40), 32.5%(13/40) vs. 10.0%(4/40), the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.02, 4.10, P<0.05). The improvement time of symptoms and signs (restlessness elimination, respiratory improvement, heart rate improvement and disappearance of rhonchus in lung) in the observation group were less than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The levels of procalcitonin (PCT) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP), myocardial troponin I(cTnI), and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) in the observation group after treatment were lower than those in the control group: (6.15 ± 1.03) μg/L vs. (10.85 ± 2.12) μg/L, (112.02 ± 30.09) ng/L vs. (215.39 ± 55.08) ng/L, (0.68 ± 0.17) μg/L vs. (1.12 ± 0.34) μg/L, (19.05 ± 6.11) U/L vs. (28.97 ± 7.82) U/L, P<0.05. The levels of oxygen partial pressure (PaO 2), blood oxygen saturation (SaO 2) and oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2) in the observation group after treatment were higher than those in the control group: (6.15 ± 1.03) μg/L vs. (10.85 ± 2.12) μg/L, (112.02 ± 30.09) ng/L vs. (215.39 ± 55.08) ng/L, (0.68 ± 0.17) μg/L vs. (1.12 ± 0.34) μg/L, (19.05 ± 6.11) U/L vs. (28.97 ± 7.82) U/L, P<0.05. Conclusions:Early application of small dose of cedilanid in infants with severe pneumonia can effectively reduce the occurrence of heart failure, improve the clinical symptoms and blood gas indicators, with significant curative effect, which is worthy of promotion.
