ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical cure effect of Zhilong Tongluo Decoction on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in acute exacerbation(AECOPD). [Method] Take prospective research method to randomly divide 70 cases of AECOPD into 2 groups, the control one(35 cases) take routine western medicine(WM) for treatment, the treatment group(35), added with Zhilong Tongluo Decoction on the basis of control one. After being treated for 14d, compare their PH value, PaO2, PaCO2, HCT, ESR, CRP and clinical effect and side effects before and after treatment. [Result] The comparison of both groups had no difference of statistical meaning on PH,PaO2,PaCO2,HCT,ESR,CRP; after treatment, the PH and PaO 2 markedly increased, PaCO2 obviously decreased(P<0.05), so did HCT,ESR,CRP(P<0.05,P<0.01); the treatment group was much better than control one on improvement, so was the effective rate. Both had no marked side effects. [Conclusion] Zhilong Tongluo Decoction controls inflammation and improves ventilation and blood flow with its Tongluo(stretch col aterals), having obvious effect on AECOPD.
