Abstract:Objective To analyze clinical effect of Jiawei Buzhong Yiqi Decoction in the auxiliary treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with respiratory failure. Methods Ninety-two patients of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with respiratory failure treated in Xianxian Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Cangzhou City in Hebei Province from February 2018 to February 2019 were selected as study samples. They were divided into routine group and experimental group by random number table method, with 46 cases in each group. Routine group was treated with basic Western medicine, experimental group was treated with basic Western medicine and Jiawei Buzhong Yiqi Decoction for 4 weeks. Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score, heart rate, respiration rate, oxygen partial pressure, carbon dioxide partial pressure, vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second and peak expiratory velocity, St.George′s respiratory disease questionnaire score between two groups were compared before and after treatment. The therapeutic effect of two groups was observed. Results After treatment, the scores of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes in two groups were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the scores in experimental group were lower than those in routine group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the heart rate and respiration of two groups were slower than those before treatment, the level of carbon dioxide partial pressure was lower than that before treatment, the level of oxygen partial pressure was higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05), and the improvement of experimental group was better than that of routine group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second and peak expiratory velocity in two groups were higher than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and experimental group was higher than that in routine group (P < 0.05). Total effective rate of experimental group was higher than that of routine group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the scores of disease performance, disease influence and activity disorder in two groups were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the scores in experimental group were lower than those in routine group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The auxiliary treatment of Jiawei Buzhong Yiqi Decoction can improve the curative effect, clinical performance, lung function and life quality of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and respiratory failure. It has certain clinical application value.
