Objective To explore the clinical nursing effect of the atomization inhalation therapy on pediatric asthmatic suffocating pneumonia .Methods Ninety-three patients with pediatric asthmatic suffocating pneumonia were chosen and randomly divided into the observation group ( n=47 ) and the control group ( n=46).The control group received the routine treatment (controlling infection through antibiotics , keeping calm and reducing of asthma , relieving cough and sputum , etc.) and conventional nursing measures ( health education, diet nursing, psychological nursing, etc.), and the observation group received the atomization inhalation therapy on the basis of the control group .The nursing and therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups .Results The total effective rate of treatment was 93 .6%( 44/47 ) in the observation group , which was higher than 67.4%( 31/46 ) in the control group , and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =10.244, P<0.05).The average time of the disappear of asthma and moist rales and the hospital stay were (6.4 ±1.5), (7.0 ±1.7), (8.1 ±2.1) d in the observation group, which were shorter than (9.1 ± 1.4), (10.2 ±2.0), (10.9 ±1.9) d in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t=10.541, 13.293, 10.941, respectively; P <0.01).Conclusions Application of the atomization inhalation therapy on pediatric asthmatic suffocating pneumonia based on the routine treatment and nursing can effectively improve the therapeutic effect , relieve the pain of patients and promote the rehabilitation of patients .
