Effects of Ulinastatin on Blood Coagulation Dysfunction of ICU Sepsis Patients / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect and mechanism of ulinastatin on blood coagulation dysfunction of ICU sepsis pa-tients. METHODS:64 ICU sepsis patients were randomly divided into treatment and control groups,with 32 cases in each group. Control group received routine treatment,while treatment group was additionally given Ulinastatin injection on the basis of control group,100 000 u dissolved in 500 ml 15% Glucose injection or Sodium chloride injection intraveously,3 times/d,for consecutive 7 days. The mechanical ventilation time,ICU length of stay and survival rate within 30 d were analyzed statistically in 2 groups. The platelet count (PLT),prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),fibrinogen (FIB),D-dimer (D-D), white blood cell count (WBC) and IL-6 were detected before treatment and on first,third and seventh day after treatment. RE-SULTSAfter treatment,mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay in treatment group were significantly shorter than in control group,and survival rate was significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The peripheral blood WBC and IL-6 level of treatment group were significantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was a significant difference in blood coagulation indicators between treatment group after 7 days of treatment and before treat-ment,control group after treatment(P<0.05). The blood coagulation indicators recovered to normal level after 7 days of treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Ulinastatin can improve blood coagulation of ICU sepsis patients by a mechanism of inhibiting the release of in-flammatory cytokines and corresponding blood coagulation factor function.
