Effects of selfmade Lifeihuayu decotion in the treatment of patients with bronchial asthma

Abstract

Objective To observe the effects of selfmade Lifeihuayu decotion in the treatment of patients with bronchial asthma.Methods 102 patients with bronchial asthma were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,each group had 51 cases.The patients in the control group were treated with the conven-tional treatment,while the patients in the observation group were treated with the conventional treatment plus selfmade Lifeihuayu decotion.They were treated for 8 weeks.The patients of the two groups were determined with lung function and blood gas analysis, including forced expiratory volume in one second （ FEV1 ） , forced inspiratory vital capacity （ FVC） ,peak expiratory flow（ PEF） ,pH value,the partial pressure of oxygen（ PaO2 ） and carbon dioxide partial pres-sure（PaCO2）.Results The total effective rate were 98.0% in the observation group and 90.2% in the control group,the total efficiency of the observation group was significantly higher（χ2 =5.78,P〈0.05）.After treatment,the FEV1,FVC and PEF of the patient＇s in the two groups were significantly increased（t=5.325,4.821,2.761,all P〈0.05）,and compared with the control group,the FEV1,FVC and PEF of patients in the observation group improved more significantly（t=2.068,2.771,3.013,all P〈0.05）.After treatment,the PaO2 of the patient＇s in the two groups were significantly higher,which more obviously increased in the observation group than those in the control group（ t=2.925,P〈0.05）.After treatment,the PaCO2 of the patient＇s in the two groups were significantly decreased,PaCO2 in the observation group significantly decreased more than that in the control group（t=3.063,P〈0.05）.Conclusion Selfmade Lifeihuayu decotion in the treatment of patients with bronchial asthma has curative effect,and can signifi-cantly improve lung function and blood gas analysis of patients.
