Abstract
Objective To study the effect of various methods of medicated hydrotherapy that made according to TCM syndrome differentiation plus-minus method on blood glucose,skin bilirubin,newborn vomiting and eczema of neonates.Methods Totals of 396 neonates(120 neonates with vomiting; 76 preterm neonates or low weight infants;200 term neonates) were randomly divided into control group and medicated hydrotherapy group,each group had 198 cases,according to the birth time.Traditional bathe was applied in control groups,while medicated hydrotherapy was adopted on the basis of traditional bathe in the medicated hydrotherapy group.The changes of blood glucose,skin bilimbin,newborn vomiting and eczema were observed during four periods:15 min before and after medicated hydrotherapy,the 24th,48th,96th,144th after birth,and the incidence of vomiting and eczema.Results The blood glucose value of 38 preterm neonates or low weight infants before and after medicated hydrotherapy 15mins,and the difference in the 1 th and 3th day after birth was statistically significance [(4.509 ± 0.274) vs (4.448 ± 0.266),(4.624 ± 0.305) vs (4.457 ± 0.314) ; t =2.854,2.463,respectively; P ＜ 0.05)].In medicated hydrotherapy group,compared to control group,bilirubin values were significantly increased in the 96th and 144th hour after birth,respectively [(158.12 ±36.81) vs (199.08 ± 35.68),(166.05 ±20.18) vs (189.16 ±7.98) ;t =4.925,6.565,respectively;P ＜ 0.01)].The total effective rate of neonates with vomiting of eczema in medicated hydrotherapy group was 91.7％,and that of control group was 65.0％,and the difference was statistically significant (Z =3.619,P ＜ 0.01).And the incidence cases of medicated hydrotherapy group were 2 significantly lower than that of the control group 16 (x2 =11.966,P ＜0.01).Conclusions The neonatal medicated hydrotherapy prescription according to TCM syndrome differentiation method can reduce the occurrence of pathological jaundice in preterm neonates and low birth weight neonates and has little effect on blood glucose.It is an effective clinical treatment for neonatal vomiting and eczema,which is worth promoting in health care.
