ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of Xuebijing injection for treatment of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).Methods A prospective study was conducted. Forty-eight patients with confirmed diagnosis of VAP requiring mechanical ventilation admitted into intensive care unit (ICU) of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine between May 2013 and September 2014 were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into observation group (26 cases) and control group (22 cases) by random number table. All patients in both groups received western conventional treatment, and the patients in observation group were treated additionally with 50 mL Xuebijing injection intravenous drip twice a day, and control group received only routine western medicine, the therapeutic course in both groups being 7 days. The changes of white blood cell count (WBC), serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels and the clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) were observed, and the clinical therapeutic effect and 28-day prognosis were analyzed in both groups.Results After treatment for 7 days, the WBC, PCT levels and CPIS score were decreased compared with those before treatment in the two groups, and the degree of descent in observation group was more significant than that in the control group [WBC (×109/L) 9.16±1.62 vs. 12.03±2.34, PCT (μg/L) 0.17±0.04 vs. 0.28±0.69, CPIS score 3.31±0.97 vs. 4.23±1.15, allP < 0.05]. The effective rate of observation group was higher than that of the control group [84.6% (22/26) vs. 54.5% (12/22), P < 0.05], while the 28-day fatality rate in the observation group was lower than that of control group [11.5% (3/26) vs. 36.4% (8/22),P < 0.05].Conclusion The clinical therapeutic effect is good when patients with VAP is treated with addition of Xuebijing injection on the basis of conventional western medicine therapy, as the injection can improve the therapeutic efficacy and reduce the fatality rate.
