Efficacy of pulmonary surfactant combined with high-dose ambroxol hydrochloride in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.

摘要

Clinical efficacy of pulmonary surfactant combined with high-dose ambroxol hydrochloride in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) was investigated. One hundred child patients with NRDS in Linyi Central Hospital were collected according to the diagnostic criteria for RDS in the Pediatrics, and randomly divided into the treatment group (n=50) and the control group (n=50) based on different therapeutic methods. Patients in the control group were treated with basic treatment and high-dose ambroxol hydrochloride injection, while those in the treatment group were additionally administered with pulmonary surfactant Curosurf based on conventional therapy in the control group. The chest X-rays were collected before the treatment and at 12 h after the drug administration, the degree of respiratory distress in child patients was observed and evaluated via Silverman grading, and changes in blood gas indexes were recorded before treatment and at 2, 6 and 12 h after the drug administration. The chest X-ray grade, Silverman grade and blood gas analysis results had no differences between the two groups before the treatment (P>0.05). In the treatment group, partial pressure of oxygen (PaO_2) and PH were increased and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO_2) was decreased compared with those in the control group at 2,6 and 12 h after the drug administration (P<0.05). At 12 h after the drug administration, chest X-ray grade and Silverman grade in both groups were improved, which were significantly superior in the treatment group to those in the control group (P<0.01). Moreover, the efficacy in the treatment group was remarkably better than that in the control group at 12 h after drug administration (P<0.01). Pulmonary surfactant combined with high-dose ambroxol hydrochloride has definite efficacy in the treatment of NRDS, which can significantly improve the pulmonary infection, respiratory distress and blood gas indexes of child patients.
