ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes in tidal breathing lung function of severe pneumonia in re-covery phase and correlation with the condition and prognosis in infants and the young children.Methods Tidal breathing lung function of 44 cases of severe pneumonia infants and 50 cases of mild pneumonia infants in their recovery phase were measured by infantile spirometer made in Germany.According to ratio of exhaled volume at peak tidal expi-ratory flow to total expiratory volume(VPTEF /VE),severe pneumonia infants were divided into normal,mild,moderate and severe groups.All these children were followed up for the frequency of rehospitalization because of lower respiratory tract infections and the frequency of wheezing within 1 year after discharge.Statistical were analyzed by using t test andχ2 test.Results Compared with the mild pneumonia infants,the respiratory rate(RR)of the severe pneumonia infants was significantly increased [(36.31 ±0.78)times/min vs (30.83 ±0.74)times/min](P 0.05).Thirteen cases of se-vere pneumonia infants were followed up for 1 year.Of all these 1 3 cases,pulmonary function in 1 case restored to nor-mal within 3 months;that of 6 cases restored to normal within 6 months;the conditions of 3 cases restored to normal within 1 year;while the pulmonary function of other 3 cases was still abnormal 1 year after discharge.Conclusions Lung function damage of severe pneumonia infants is more serious than the mild pneumonia in infants in their recovery phase.For severe pneumonia infants,the more serious of lung function damages,the more likely to be re -hospitaliza-tion because of lower respiratory tract infections and wheezing in short time.
