Analyzing the Staging and Treatment of Acute Lung Injury in Sepsis Based on the Theory of"Fei Xuanfu-Qi Ye-Luo Mai"
The authors explore the close relationship between the pathogenesis of this disease and the theory of"Fei Xuanfu-Qi Ye-Luo Mai".A staging and treatment approach is proposed,suggesting that in the early stage,emphasis should be placed on clearing the lung and regulating the Xuanfu level,promoting blood circulation and resolving fluid retention,and unblocking the lung collaterals to prevent disease progression.During the stage of in-flammatory exudation,the focus should be on purging the lungs and regulating the Xuanfu level,promoting blood circulation and ventilating lung qi for diuresis,and activating qi-flowing and dredging collaterals.In the stage of pulmonary edema,it is necessary to ventilating lung qi and unblocking Xuanfu,dispelling stasis and expelling flu-id retention,and strengthen qi while unblocking the collaterals.During the stage of lung consolidation,the strategy should be to benefiting lung and broadening Xuanfu,eliminating stasis and removing phlegm,and tonifying and un-blocking collaterals.Early intervention is advocated and comprehensive treatment combining traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine is recommended to block the progression of the disease,reduce the mortality rate,thus providing new perspectives for the prevention and treatment of acute lung injury in sepsis using traditional Chinese medicine.
