title: [Clinical research on supplementing Qi and activating blood circulation herbs on lung protection in acute lung injury ventilation patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the supplementing Qi and activating blood circulation herbs on lung protection in acute lung injury (ALI) ventilation patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  67 cases of ALI patients were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. Routine treatment was for 32 cases of control group while treatment with adding supplementing Qi and activating blood circulation herbs was for 35 cases of treatment group, by 60 mL per time for 14 consecutive days with each day three times. Hemodynamics, changes of arterial blood gas, assay of pdymorphonuclears (PMN) value and the image of bronchoscopes between two groups in T0, T3, T7 and T14 were compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  PMN, HR, SVR, PaO2 , PO2/FiO2 and pH of treatment group were significantly improved compared with control group during T0, T3, T7 and T14 (P <0. 05). The compared differences were remarkable on hemodynamics, changes of arterial blood gas and assay of PMN value between treatment group and control group. The image of bronchoscopes in treatment group was improved significantly.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The intervention of supplementing Qi and activating blood circulation herbs can effectively protect the lung function from ALI patients who received ventilation.
