ABSTRACT

Objective To observe and analyze the clinical effect of cefuroxime combined with methylprednisolone in the treatment of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) complicated with pulmonary emphysema.Methods 92 COPD patients complicated with pulmonary emphysema were selected as study objects,and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group.46 cases in the control group were treated with antibiotic treatment, and 46 cases in the observation group were treated with cefuroxime combined with methylprednisolone.The clinical curative effect, pulmonary function, blood gas index and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 91.30%, which was significantly higher than 76.09% of the control group (x2=8.476,P0.05).Conclusion In elderly COPD patients with emphysema, using cefuroxime combined with methylprednisolone therapy can effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms, improve lung function and blood gas index, and has less adverse reactions, higher safety and high clinical application value.
