abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the efficiency of Liqi decoction on false intestinal obstruction caused by retroperitoneal hematoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Seventy-five patients were randomly divided into two groups involving Liqi groups and control group. In Liqi group, therer were 45 patients including 28 males and 17 females with an average age of (41.45+/-13.58) years, 32 cases of pelvic fracture, 13 cases of lumber fracture and Liqi decoction were given oral for 2 to 3 days. In control group, there were 30 cases including 19 males and 11 females with an average age of (43.28+/-9.49) years, 24 cases of pelvic fracture, lumber fracture in 6 cases, and 30 cases was fasting and enema, 14 cases were gastrointestinal decompression.
  
  
  RESULTS

The fineness rate were compared between two groups by chi2 test, the difference was significant (P<0.05).
