Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Shenfu injection on children with severe asthma and respiratory failure under non-invasive ventilation. Methods Sixty children with severe asthma complicated with respiratory failure admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were randomly divided into group A (n=30) and group B (n=30). Group A received non-invasive ventilation treatment, and group B was treated with injection on the basis of group A. Pulmonary function indexes, immune function indexes, serum inflammatory indexes and blood gas indexes were compared between the two groups, and the total effective rate was compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the levels of peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), maximum volume of exhaled air in the first second of exhalation (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) in both groups were increased compared with those before treatment. The levels of PEF, FEV1, FVC, IgA, IgM and IgG in group B were higher than those in group A. Serum levels of procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin17(IL-17) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in 2 groups were lower than before treatment, and the levels of PCT, IL-17 and CRP in group B were lower than those in group A). Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) increased and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) decreased in both groups compared with before treatment, and PaO2 in group B was higher than that in group A and PaCO2 was lower than that in group A. There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between group B and group A. However, according to the rank sum test of different treatment grades, the clinical efficacy of group B was better, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion In the treatment of severe asthma complicated with respiratory failure with non-invasive ventilation, Shenfu injection can effectively improve lung function, regulate immune function, reduce serum inflammatory response, and has a good clinical effect.
