Effect of early hyperbaric oxygen combined with edaravone on the levels of serum NT-proBNP,NLR and PLR in the treatment of acute carbon monoxide poisoning
Objective To investigate the efficacy of early hyperbaric oxygen combined with edara-vone in the treatment of acute carbon monoxide poisoning and the effects on the levels of serum N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),platelet-lymphocyte ratio(PLR)and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR)in patients.Methods 102 patients with severe acute carbon monoxide from February 2020 to October 2023 admit-ted to the Guangde Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were retrospectively selected and divided into a control group(48 cases)and a combination group(54 cases)based on the treatment plan.Both groups received conventional treatment,while the control group received early hyperbaric oxygen therapy on this basis.The combined group was treated with edaravone on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy,serum NT-proBNP,NLR and PLR levels and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results Com-pared with the control group,the total effective rate of the combined group was significantly higher(x2=4.262,P<0.05).Additionally,the levels of serum NT-proBNP,NLR,and PLR after treatment in both groups de-creased,and the levels of the above indicators in the combination group were significantly lower(t=7.363,6.870,3.489,P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the total incidence of complications at 3 months of follow-up,the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment in the combination group were significantly lower(x2=1.021,3.474,P>0.05).Conclusion Early hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with edaravone is effective in treating acute carbon monoxide poisoning.This treatment can significantly reduce the levels of NT-proBNP,NLR,and PLR in patients,decrease the incidence of complications in the short term,and is considered safe.
