Clinical value of Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction in treating severe pneumonia with phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome
Objective To investigate the effects of Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction on symptom relief time,inflammatory response and severity of severe pneumonia with phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome.Methods A total of 89 patients with severe pneumonia with phlegm heat obstructing lung syndrome(from February 2022 to February 2024)were divided into control group(44 cases)and observation group(45 cases)by random number table method in Yongquan Community Health Service Center,Wenjiang District,Chengdu.The control group received conventional Western medicine treatment such as anti-infection and expectoration,while the observation group received Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction on the basis of the control group.The treatment time of both groups was 14 days.The curative effect(14 days after treatment),symptom remission time,severity of disease(before treatment and 14 days after treatment)and serum biochemical indexes(before treatment and 14 days after treatment)were compared between the two groups.Results After 14 days of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group(86.67%)was higher than that of the control group(65.91%)(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the time of fever remission,asthma remission and cough remission in observation group were shorter(P<0.05).After 14 days of treatment,compared to before treatment,the levels of acute physiology and Chronic health status score System Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ),systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS),clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS),serum procalcitonin(PCT),interleukin-13(IL-13)and serum amyloid A(SAA)were all decreased in observation group and control group,the observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction can effectively shorten the time of symptom relief,reduce the severity of disease and inflammatory reaction in the treatment of severe pneumonia with phlegm heat obstruction,and has high clinical application value.
