Clinical effects of ganglioside on delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical effects of hyperbaric oxygen combined large dose ganglioside on delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning(DEACMP).Methods A totol of 72 patients of DEACMP were randomly divided into the observation group(37)and the control group(35).The patients of control group were given the routine treatment with hyperbaric oxygen.In the treatment group patients were given large doses of gangliosides 100 mg,1 times a day,for a period of 20 to 30 days additionally to the routine treatment of hyperbaric oxygen.All patients were examined before and after treatment in EEG examination (EEG),mini-mental state examination(MMSE).Results The abnormal rate of EEG was 37.83％(14/37) in the control group,which was significantly lower than that of 65.71％(23/35) in the treatment group((x2 =5.60,P ＜ 0.05).In the treatment group,the MMSE was(15.45±2.93) and(23.70±2.13) before and after treatment,respectively; in the control group,the MMSE was(14.88±2.84) and(20.33±2.09) before and after treatment.The MMSE was significantly impoved after treatment in both group(t =3.18 and 2.91,Ps ＜0.05).Furthermore,the MMSE impoved more significantly in the treatment group compared to the control group (t =6.28,P ＜ 0.05).The effective rate of treatment group was 86.48％(32/37),which was significantly higher than that of 51.43％(20/35) in the control group(x2 =7.72,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Application of large dose ganglioside treatment had significant clinical effects in delayed encephalopathy after acute car-bon monoxide poisoning,which is better than the effect of routine hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
