Clinical Observation of Tiotropium Bromide Combined with Salmeterol Fluticasone Aerosol in the Treat-ment of Elderly Severe COPD / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of tiotropium bromide combined with Salmeterol flutica-sone aerosol in the treatment of severe COPD in elderly patients. METHODS:A total of 90 elderly patients with severe COPD se-lected from May 2013 to May 2015 in our hospital as research objects were divided into control group and observation group ac-cording to random number table,with 45 cases in each group. Control group was given Salmeterol xinafonate and fluticasone propi-onate aerosol 1 press/time,bid;observation group was additionally given Tiotropium bromide powder for inhalation 18 μg,qd,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The short-term clinical efficacy,dyspnea score,pulmonary venti-lation function indexes [FVC,EFV1,EFV1%],blood gas analysis indexes [p(O2),p(CO2)] and QLI score before and after treat-ment were observed in 2 groups. The re-hospitalization time and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RE-SULTSThe total response rate of short-term treatment in observation group was 97.78%,which was significantly higher than 80.00% of control group,with statistical significance (P0.05). After treatment,dyspnea scores and p(CO2) of 2 groups were decreased significantly,while pulmonary ventilation function indexes,p??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????(O2)and QLI scores were increased significantly;the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statis-tical significance(P<0.05). The re-hospitalization time of observation group was significantly less than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONSTiotropium bromide assisted with Salmeterol fluticasone aerosol show significant therapeutic efficacy for elderly se-vere COPD,and effectively relieve dyspnea symptom,improve pulmonary ventilation function and quality of daily life,reduce the re-hospitalization risk and do not increase the incidence of ADR.
