Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effects of Xuebijing combined with early paracentesis and drainage in the treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).
MethodsSixty SAP patients were selected, and randomly divided into the control group and observation group(30 cases in each group).Both groups were given the conventional SAP treatment.The control group was treated with abdominal puncture alone, while the observation group was treated with abdominal puncture combined with Xuebijing.The white blood cell(WBC) count, C-reactive protein(CRP), serum amyloid protein(SAA), heparin-binding protein(HBP), acute physiology and chronic health score(APACHE Ⅱ), sequential organ failure score(SOFA) and CT severity index(CTSI) were compared between two groups at admission and on the third, fifth and seventh day after admission.The length of EICU stay and hospital stay in two groups were analyzed.
ResultsThe differences of the WBC count, CRP, SAA, HBP, APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score and CTSI score between two groups were not statistically significant at admission(P>0.05).On the third day of admission, the above indexes of two groups increased compared with those on admission(P < 0.05), and then which decreased on the fifth and seventh day(P < 0.05).On the third day, the difference of the WBC count between two groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05), and the CRP, SAA, HBP, APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score and CTSI in observation group were lower than those in control group(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).On the fifth and seventh day, all the above indexes in observation group were lower than those in control group(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).The length of stay in EICU and hospital stay in observation group were significantly shorter than those in control group(P < 0.01).
ConclusionsThe early application of paracentesis and drainage combined with Xuebijing in SAP patients can help reduce the inflammatory response, improve the prognosis, and shorten the hospitalization time of the patient.
