RESUMEN
Objective To study the curative effect of traditional chinese medicine combined with noninvasive ventilation on respiratory failure in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.MethodsThe patients were divided into experimental group (n=37) and control group (n=37).The experimental group was treated with traditional chinese medicine combined with noninvasive ventilation.The control group was treated with noninvasive ventilation method.The heart rate, blood gas analysis index, ventilation index and complication were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment, the levels of PaO2 in the two groups were not significantly different.The heart rate and PaCO2 of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group, while the pH value and SaO2 were significantly higher than those in the control group (P< 0.05), and the total incidence of complications was 21.62%, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (64.86%, P<0.05).The time of infection control window, the highest PEEP and the time of mechanical ventilation were significantly shorter than those of the control group (P< 0.05).ConclusionThe treatment of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) combined with noninvasive ventilation therapy can significantly improve the heart rate and blood gas analysis indexes, and optimize the noninvasive ventilation efficiency, control lung infection as soon as possible, shorten the time of noninvasive ventilation and reduce the side effects that noninvasive ventilation brought about.
