| Objective: To study effects of bronchoalveolar lavage treating patientschronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) with invasive mechanicalventilationMethods: 96 Patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure caused byCOPD, and on the basis of using invasive mechanical ventilation,was dividedinto have-phlegm-group and no-phlegm-group through regularly sputumsuctioning, have-phlegm-group randomly divided into two groups, group Awent go taking invasive mechanical ventilation, group B were givenbronchoalveolar lavage on the basis of mechanical ventilation every day;no-phlegm-group also randomly divided into two groups, group C went gotaking invasive mechanical ventilation,group D were given bronchoalveolarlavage on the basis of mechanical ventilation every day . Arterial blood gasindex (pH, PaCO2, PaO2), the time of invasive mechanical ventilation,RICU-days, RICU hospitalization expense were measured before and afterinterventionResults: In the patients of have-phlegm-group,pH roughly returned tonormal range, PaCO2 decreased , PaO2 increased, The significance withintwo groups occurred earlier (P < 0.05); on the aspect of outcome, the time ofinvasive mechanical ventilationã€RICU-days and RICU hospitalizationexpense in group B were shorter than those in group A (P < 0.05). In the patients of no-phlegm-group,pH also roughly returned to normal range,PaCO2 decreased , PaO2 increased, two groups were not significant duringthe whole intervention periods (P>0.05); on the aspect of outcome, the timeof invasive mechanical ventilationã€RICU-days and RICU hospitalizationexpense in group D were shoter than those in group C (P>0.05)Conclusion: In the have-phlegm-group,treatment using bronchoalveolarlavage can make patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure due to COPDdecrease PaCO2,increase PaO2, recover pH and shorted the time of invasivemechanical ventilationã€RICU-days and RICU hospitalization expense thanthose using invasive mechanical ventilation only; In the no-phlegm-group,treatment using bronchoalveolar lavage can make patients with hypercapnicrespiratory failure due to COPD decrease PaCO2,increase PaO2, recover pHand shorted the time of invasive mechanical ventilationã€RICU-days andRICU hospitalization expense than those using invasive mechanicalventilation only,but difference of two groups have no statistics significance,Must be further research. |
