Clinical Efficacy of Nalmefene Injections in the Treatment of Patients with Severe Head Injury / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of nalmefene hydrochloride injections and Naofukang injections in the treatment of the patients with severe head injury. Methods:Totally 60 cases of patients with severe head injury were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. The two groups were all given the conventional therapy, such as dehydration, expansion and anti-infective therapy. On the basis of the conventional therapy, the observation group was treated with nalmefene hydro-chloride injections, 0. 4-0. 6 mg in 0. 9% sodium chloride injections, ivd, qd, while the control group was given Naofukang injections, 4-9 g in 5% or 10% glucose injections, ivd, qd. The treatment course was 2 weeks. After the 3-day treatment, the heart rhythm, the incidence of respiratory abnormalities and intracranial pressure were compared between the two groups. After the 10-day treatment, the total efficacy and complications in the two groups were also recorded and compared. Results:After the 3-day treatment, the incidence of abnormal heart rhythm and respiratory abnormalities in the observation group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05), the intracranial pressure in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0. 05). After the 10-day treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 93. 3%, which was much higher than that in the control group ( P<0. 05). After the treatment, the incidence of respiratory infections, acid-base unbalance and upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the ob-servation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion: The clinical efficacy of nalmefene hydrochloride injections in the treatment of patients with severe traumatic brain injury is significant with promising safety, which is bet-ter than that of Naofukang injections.
