[Clinical observation on intervention of Yiqi Bufei Recipe in patients with severe pulmonary function incompetence after lung resection].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of Yiqi Bufei Recipe (YBR) on clinical symptoms, pulmonary function and recovery in patients with severe pulmonary function incompetence (PFI) after lung resection (LR).


METHODS
The clinical symptoms were observed, the pulmonary function examined and blood-gas analysis conducted in 30 patients with PFI after LR (the treatment group) and in 30 cases with normal pulmonary function after LR (the control group).


RESULTS
In the treatment group, clinical manifestations including cough, dyspnea, frequency of oxygen inhalation, and mobility, as well as the results of blood-gas analysis were improved after operation, while pulmonary function changed insignificantly. There was no significant difference in occurrence of postoperative complications and in-hospital mortality between the two groups (P > 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
YBR can relieve acute lung injury caused by LR and improve the tolerance of patients with PFI for operation, which is benificial for postoperative recovery.
