ABSTRACT
Objective:To search for therapeutic effect of lidocaine in the treatment of acute episode of chronic asthmatic bronchitis.Methods:The 58 cases of patients with acute episode of chronic asthmatic bronchitis admitted to this hospital from August,2004 to July,2007 were divided into group A and group B.Besides group A with lidocaine and group B as control with sodium chloride solution,there were no difference in the other therapeutic measures between group A and Group B.Oxygen was used as the power of spray or aerosolizer,the flow volume of oxygen was 8-10L/min.Group A patients were given 5 milliliters of 2% lidocaine(100mg) by nebulized inhalation three times a day for three days,and Group B patients received 5 milliliters of 0.9% sodium chloride solution by nebulized inhalation three times a day for successive three days.The changes of heart rate,respiratory frequency,forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),peak expiratory flow(PEF),partial pressure of oxygen in artery(PaO2) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery(PaCO2) were determined in the group A and B before and after the nebulized inhalation therapy.Results:The results of the heart rate,respiratory frequency,FEV1,PEF,PaO2 and PaCO2 before and after the treatment of the nebulized inhalation were showed as follows,improvement of heart rate and respiratory frequency was more significant in the group with the nebulized inhalation treatment of lidocaine than that in the group as control after 30 minutes,one day and three days of therapy(P
