Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of Xuanfei Tongfu formula on the prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia.Methods Sixty patients with severe pneumonia admitted to the First People's Hospital of Fuyang District,Hangzhou City from June 1,2022 to April 1,2024 were selected as the research subjects.Patients were divided into control group(31 cases)and observation group(29 cases)by randomly number table method.Upon hospital admission,the control group received conventional Western medicine treatment,while the observation group received Xuanfei Tongfu formula in addition to conventional Western medicine treatment[Rhubarb 8 g(decocted later),Aurantii Fructus Immaturus 12 g,Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex 12 g,Agastache Rugosa 10 g,Tatarian Aster Root 15 g,Natrii Sulfas Exsiccatus 10 g(dissolved in water),decocted to 150 mL each time and taken],once a day for 5 days.Observe the changes of inflammatory indicators such as serum levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),interleukin-6(IL-6)in both groups before and after treatment.To evaluate the severity indicators of diseases such as acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)and sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA),as well as the clinical efficacy after treatment.Record the duration of mechanical ventilation,intensive care unit(ICU)length of stay and total hospitalization length of the two groups,calculate the oxygenation index level,and statistically analyze the 28-day survival rate.Results Compared with before treatment,the levels of inflammatory indicators CRP,PCT,and IL-6,as well as the scores of APACHEⅡand SOFA in both groups were significantly lower than those after treatment,the oxygenation index was significantly higher than that before treatment,and the changes in the observation group were more obvious than those in the control group[CRP(mg/L):28±17 vs.50±34,PCT(μg/L):2.0±1.5 vs.4.1±2.7,IL-6(ng/L):52±28 vs.97±61,APACHEⅡscore:12.8±5.1 vs.16.1±6.1,SOFA score:3.9±1.8 vs.6.2±2.7,oxygenation index(mmHg,1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa):302±57 vs.252±85,all P<0.05].Compared with the control group,the observation group exhibited a markedly reduced duration of mechanical ventilation(days:8.3±3.8 vs.11.4±6.4,P<0.05),and a significantly higher total effective rate of clinical efficacy[82.76%(24/29)vs.54.84%(17/31),P<0.05].Conclusion The application of Xuanfei Tongfu formula can effectively enhance the clinical treatment outcomes for severe pneumonia,reduce systemic inflammatory responses,promote organ function recovery,and improve the prognosis of patients.
