Clinical Research On The Treatment Of Replenishing Qi And Promoting Blood Circulation Used In The Rehabilitation Stage Of Children Pneumonia

Pneumonia is a commonly-encountered disorder in pediatric,which is mainly treated by anti-infection and symptoms-releieving medicines.After treatment of 1 week,the majority of the patients recovered or the symptoms were relieved.Although,there are still many children accompanied with persistant pulmonary rales,lingering cough,spontaneous sweating,poor appetite and so on.Hence the disease was lingering and intractable.By reviewing a great quantity of tranditonal Chinese medicine literatures on the pathogenesis and treatment of pneumonia in recovery stage,this reseach comes to the conclusion that the main pathogenesis of the lingering symptoms in recovery stage of children pneumonia is qi deficiency and blood stagnation.And replenishing qi and promoting blood circulation is a effective therapeutic method in this stage.In the clininical study,sixty patients with pneumonia in the rehabilitation stage were divideded into two groups.The 30 patients in control group were still treated by the antibiotic,or in combination with other morden medicines which to relieve symptoms. Meanwhile,except the modern medicine,the 30 patients in the treatment group needed to receive the decoctions of TCM which were prescribed under the therapeutic principle: replenishing qi and promoting blood circulation.The observation time of two groups were both 3 days.And the differences between two groups were caculated by the improvement of the scores of symptoms and signs,X-ray examination.At the end of the treatment,the numbers of the cases that were cured,significant effective,improved,ineffective in the treatment group were separately 2(6.67%)),16(53.33%),11(36.67%),1(3.33%),While 0(0%),16(53.33%),1(3.33%),17(56.67%) in the control group;The response rate of the treatment was 96.67%,while 56.67%in the control group.With chi-square test,the difference of the response rate between two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.01).About the improvement of major symptoms(cough,sputum,pulmonary auscultation and so on),the treatment group were superior to the control group.About the improvement of appetite,sweating,toungue fur,the score changes in the control group were not statistically significant(P＞0.05),while a high degree of ststistical significance(P＜0.01) in the treatment group with the rank sum test.But the difference of spirit between two groups had no ststistical significance.In the improvement of complextion,both two groups were effective,but the treatment group was superior.Therefore,we considered that the method of replenishing qi and promoting blood circulation was effective in the patients with childhood Pneumonia in the rehabilitation stage.Compared to the control group which used the morden mendicine only,the method of replenishing qi and promoting blood circulation were more effective in relieving the cough,resolving the phlegm,activating the absorbtion of the rale,especially in the improvement of appetite,sweating,toungue fur.and it is worth clinical promotion.
