Abstract:
Septic acute lung injury(ALI),a life-threatening complication of sepsis,has garnered significant attention due to its high mortality rate.Despite advances in Western medicine,including anti-infective therapy and lung-protective ventilation strategies,managing inflammatory storm and alveolar-capillary barrier repair remain critical challenges with Western medicine alone,leading to suboptimal patient outcomes.Traditional Chinese medicine,with its emphasis on holistic regulation,has unique advantages in inhibiting excessive inflammation,protecting lung function,alleviating clinical symptoms,and improving the quality of life of patients,and integrated Chinese and Western integrative therapy has demonstrated improved clinical outcomes.This article systematically reviews recent research on Traditional Chinese medicine for septic ALI,focusing on single herbal medicines,traditional Chinese medicine injections,compound formulas,acupuncture,and herbal enemas.It also analyzes research gaps,aiming to inform clinical practice and promote the standardization of integrated Chinese and Western integrative therapy approaches,thus offering new therapeutic strategies for patients with septic ALI.
