Efficacy observation of anti-infective drugs combined with BiPAP non-invasive ventilation in elderly patients with respiratory failure
Objective To analyze the clinical value of anti-infective drugs combined with bi-level positive airway pressure(BiPAP)non-invasive ventilation in elderly patients with respiratory failure.Methods 68 elderly patients with respiratory failure were selected.According to random number table,patients were assigned to a control group and a study group,each with 34 cases.The control group received conventional anti-infective drugs,and the study group received anti-infective drugs combined with BiPAP non-invasive ventilation.Patients in both groups were compared in terms of heart rate,respiratory rate,arterial blood gas indexes[arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),and blood oxygen saturation(SaO2)],pulmonary function indexes[forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),FEV1/FVC]before and after treatment,and the occurrence of adverse reactions.Results After 1 and 2 d of treatment,the heart rate in the study group were(97.42±7.62)and(85.13±4.91)beats/min,and the respiratory rate were(21.72±6.50)and(20.05±4.13)times/min,which were lower than(101.58±9.34),(99.72±7.68)beats/min and(26.97±5.87),(24.97±4.25)times/min in the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After 7 d of treatment,PaCO2 was(44.08±2.67)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)in the study group,which was lower than(50.27±3.16)mm Hg in the control group;the study group had PaO2 of(79.14±5.91)mm Hg and SaO2 of(91.98±8.67)%,which were higher than(67.15±5.12)mm Hg and(83.41±8.52)%in the control group;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After 7 d of treatment,the study group had FEV1 of(2.04±0.72)L,FVC of(3.11±0.41)L,FEV1/FVC of(72.47±9.27)%,which were higher than(1.68±0.61)L,(2.67±0.48)L,(64.18±8.26)%in the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was 8.82%,which was lower than 29.41%in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The anti-infective drugs combined with BiPAP non-invasive ventilation has positive significance in elderly patients with respiratory failure,which can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients,improve the oxygenation indexes and pulmonary function,and has popularization value.
