ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the short-term and long-term effect of mask bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) combined with recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) on acute heart failure.Methods One hundred cases of acute heart failure patients were divided into BiPAP combined with rhBNP group (51 cases) and conventional treatment group (49 cases) by random digits table.Conventional treatment group was given routine drug for heart failure treatment,and BiPAP combined with rhBNP group on the basis of routine treatment,was given BiPAP combined therapy with rhBNP.Arterial blood oxygen partial pressure (PaO2),arterial blood oxygen saturation (SaO2),and the change of clinical symptoms were recorded before and 30 min,2 h after treatment.All patients were followed up for 3 months,and cardiovascular events,related parameters of echocardiography and 6 min walking distance test were compared between two groups.Results Clinical symptoms (respiratory frequency and heart rate) and blood gas analysis index (PaO2,SaO2) were significantly improved after treatment in two groups,and BiPAP combined with rhBNP group improved more significantly.There was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).After 3 months' follow-up,the incidence of cardiovascular events in BiPAP combined with rhBNP group was lower than that in conventional treatment group [17.6％ (9/51) vs.38.8％ (19/49),P ＜ 0.05].The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in BiPAP combined with rhBNP group was better than that in conventional treatment group [(55.0 ± 6.1) mm vs.(63.3 ± 6.5) mm,(52.5 ±7.2)％ vs.(44.7 ± 6.8)％] (P ＜ 0.05).The 6 min walking distance test in BiPAP combined with rhBNP group was higher than that in conventional treatment group [(325.6 ± 36.4) m vs.(210.2 ± 34.1) m] (P ＜0.05).Conclusion BiPAP combined with rhBNP in short-term treatment of acute heart failure is effective and safe,and can improve the long-term prognosis of patients.
