Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of varied glucocorticoid administration in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Methods Eighty-eight AECOPD patients were randomized into inhalation and venous groups on even number.On the basic treatment of anti-infection,oxygen inhalation,expectorant,anti-spasmodic and anti-asthma,and diastolic airway,patients in the venous group received intravenous methylprednisolone sodium succinate(40 mg/time,1 time/d),while patients in the inhalation group inhaled budesonide(2 mg/time,3 times/d).Both groups were treated for 7 d.Comparing the results of both groups:arterial oxygen partial pressure(PaO2),arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure(PaCO2),the estimated ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1%),the ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1/FVC),self-assessment test(CAT).Results Compared with pretreatment,PaO2 increased,PaCO2 decreased,FEV1%and FEV1/FVC were elevated in both groups(P<0.05);CAT scores decreased in both groups(P<0.05);treatment efficacy was comparable between both groups,but the incidence of adverse effects in the inhalation group was lower than that of venous group(P<0.05).Conclusion Glucocorticoid treatment of AECOPD patients can achieve positive clinical efficacy regardless of the method of administration,but glucocorticoid inhalation shows fewer adverse reactions and higher safety than intravenous glucocorticoid application.
