Therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine combined with prone position ventilation on ARDS
Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)combined with prone ventilation in the treatment of ARDS.Methods A total of 126 patients with the first diagnosis of ARDS admitted to our hospital from July 2022 to September 2023 were selected,of which 42 patients in the first ward were in the prone ventilation group and 42 patients in the second ward were divided into TMC treatment group.42 patients in the respiratory medicine ward were divided into the combined treatment group.The prone ventilation group was given prone ventilation treatment on the basis of conventional treatment,the TCM treatment group was given oral TCM on the basis of conventional treatment,and the combination treatment group was given TCM combined with prone ventilation treatment on the basis of conventional treatment.The inflammatory indexes,arterial blood gas indexes and lung injury biomar-kers of the three groups were observed and compared after 7 days of treatment.Results After treatment,there was no significant difference in inflammatory indexes,arterial blood gas indexes and biomarkers of lung injury between the prone ventilation group and the TMC treatment group(all P>0.05).The indexes of inflammation,arterial blood gas and biomarkers of lung injury in combined treat-ment group were better than those in TCM treatment group and prone position ventilation group,and the differences were statistically sig-nificant(all P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of TCM and prone ventilation in the treatment of ARDS can significantly re-duce the related inflammatory markers and biomarkers of lung injury,improve the arterial blood gas analysis indexes,and improve the treatment effect.
