Study on cooling effect of heatstroke patients with Chinese and western medicine combined with physical cooling / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical application of combined cooling of Chinese and Western medicine on the cooling effect of patients with heatstroke. Methods A total of 80 patients with severe heat stroke admitted to the emergency department of our hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected and divided into treatment group and control group according to the random number table method. 40 patients in the control group were given physical cooling. For conventional treatment, patients in the treatment group were given TCM treatment interventions on the basis of this, and clinical efficacy, changes in body temperature, and adverse screening events were compared between the two groups. Results The clinical effective rate (100.00%, ) in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (85.00%, Z=6.125,P<0.05). The duration of high fever, duration of fever, and recovery time of symptoms and signs were (0.57±0.46), (3.12±0.75), (7.25±3.18) h in the treatment group, (1.43±0.89), (5.37±0.63), (12.47± 4.53) h in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups (t=5.429, 14.528, 5.965, P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of cTnl and CK-MB in the peripheral blood of the two groups decreased significantly (P<0.05). The levels of cTnl and CK-MB in peripheral blood of patients in the treatment group were (3.13±0.15) μg/L, (412.02±156.33) U/L, (3.54± 0.26) μg/L, (748.32±119.20) U/L in the control group, there were significant differences between the two groups (t=8.639, 10.819,P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (χ2=2.222, P=0.263). Conclusion The combination of Chinese and Western medicine physical cooling has a significant cooling effect on patients with heat stroke, and does not increase the risk of adverse reactions, it is worth clinical Promotion and application.
