Effects of different pre-hospital treatments on prognosis of patients with acute respiratory failure

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effects of different pre-hospital treatments on the prognosis of patients with acute respiratory failure. Methods 100 patients with respiratory failure admitted into our hospital from April, 2015 to March, 2017 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into an observation group and a control group using random number method, 50 cases for each group. The observation groups took comprehensive pre-hospital treatment, and the control group routine pre-hospital treatment. The ventilator treatment time and hospital stay were compared between these two groups. The SGRQ scores (SGRQ) between the two groups before and after admission were analyzed. The rescue success rates and mortalities in both groups were calculated. Results The ventilator treatment time and hospital stay were shorter in the observation group than in the control group (both P<0.05). The SGRQ score was lower at the time of admission than before the intervention in the observation group, and was lower in the observation group than in the control group at the time of admission (P<0.05). The rescue success rate was 90.0% in the observation group, and was 50.0% in the control group (χ2=12.769, P<0.05). Conclusion Effective pre-hospital first aid for patients with acute respiratory failure can shorten the time of ventilator use and hospitalization time, improve their quality of life, and reduce the mortality.
