Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Xiyanping injection combined with bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) in treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients with respiratory failure and pneumonia and the effect on procalcitonin (PCT)
soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) and quality of life. Method: A total of 150 AECOPD patients with respiratory failure and pneumonia were randomly divided into observation group and control group
with 75 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional therapies
such as oxygen uptake
anti-infection
antiasthmatics
BiPAP noninvasive breathing machine. The observation group was given Xiyanping injection
in addition to the conventional therapies. The treatment lasted for continuously 10 days. Result: After 10 days of treatment
among the 153 cases
one case exited
one case could not follow this therapeutic regimen
and one case suffered from pulmonary encephalopathy and transferred to intensive care unit(ICU) for invasive mechanical ventilation. Therefore
150 eligible cases were left. The total effective rate of the observation group (84%) was significantly higher than that of control group (69%)
with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). After 10 days of treatment in both groups
pulmonary function (FEV1 and PEF)
blood gas analysis (pH
PaCO2
PaO2) and score of CAT were improved. And observation group was superior to control group (P<0.05). After 10 days of treatment
two groups showed decreases in inflammatory indicators of sTREM-1
PCT levels (P<0.05). After treatment
the observation group showed lower sTREM-1
PCT serum levels than control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Xiyanping injection combined with BiPAP non-invasive treathing machine can achieve a good clinical efficacy in treatment of AECOPD with respiratory failure and pneumonia
and can effectively relieve clinical symptoms
alliviate respiratory failure
improve the quality of life and exercise tolerance and reduce serum inflammatory factors.
