Title: Observation of syndrome differentiations of traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine on the treatment of severe pneumonia
Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical effect of syndrome differentiations of traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine on the treatment of severe pneumonia.Methods 95 cases of severe pneumonia were randomly divided into two groups.Patients in treatment group(n= 47) were treated by syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine combined with conventional western medicine.48 patients in the control group were treated with conventional western medicine.The therapeutic course was ten days in two groups.Body temperature,respiration,heart rate,leukocyte count,oxygenation index,cystatin-C,X-ray the chest image,chest CT,sputum or blood culture and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine were observed after two courses.Results Body temperature,respiration,heart rate,leukocyte count,oxygenation index and cystatin-C after treatment were improved compared with those before treatment in two groups(P0.05),the improvement of the indexes in treatment group was superior to that in control group(P0.05).The total efficiency of the chest image in treatment group was higher than that in the control group(P0.05).The total effective rate of sputum or blood culture in treatment group was higher than that in the control group(P0.05).The total effective rate of efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in treatment group was higher than that in the control group(P0.05).The average length of stay in treatment group was shorter than that in the control group(P0.05).Conclusion Syndrome differentiations of traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine can enhance clinical effect and short length of stay on the treatment of severe pneumonia.
