ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of omeprazole combined with glutamine in the prevention of stress ulcer. Methods:To-tally 106 cases of severe patients admitted in ICU of our hospital were divided into the observation group and the control group with 53 ones in each according to the admission order. The patients in the control group were treated with glutamine, and those in the observa-tion group were treated with sodium omeprazole combined with glutamine. The pH change in gastric juice, adverse reactions and inci-dence of stress ulcer after the treatment were observed and compared between the two groups. Results:After the 4-day treatment, the pH value of gastric juice in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P0. 05). Conclusion:Omeprazole combined with glutamine in the prevention of ulcers stress shows promising clinical efficacy, which can effectively inhibit gastric acid secretion and rapidly increase pH value of gastric juice with low incidence of adverse reactions, mild symptoms and high se-curity, and is worthy of wide use in clinics.
