Effect of fiberoptic bronchoscopy bronchoalveolar lavage on lung function, arterial blood gas and inflammation indexes in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of fiberoptic bronchoscopy bronchoalveolar lavage on lung function, arterial blood gas, serum Creactive protein(CRP) and procalcitonin(PCT) in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. MethodsA total of 69 patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treated in the first people′s Hospital of Baiyin city from February 2012 to February 2016 were enrolled, and were randomly divided into the control group ( 36 cases) and the observation group (33cases) according to the voluntary principle. The control group treated with home oxygen therapy and salmeterol/fluticasone, while the observation group received fiberoptic bronchoscopy bronchoalveolar lavage on the basis of the control group. The levels of serum CRP and PCT, PCO2 and PO2, FEV1% and FEV1/FVC in the two groups were detected before and after treatment, and the above indexes were compared between the two groups. ResultsAfter two days and one month of intervention, the levels of FEV1%, FEV1/FVC, PO2 in the observation group were significantly higher than those before intervention and the control group (P<0.01), and the levels of serum CRP and PCT, PCO2 in the observation group were significantly lower than those before intervention and the control group (P<0.01). ConclusionsOn the basis of home oxygen therapy and salmeterol/fluticasone, fiberoptic bronchoscopy bronchoalveolar lavage in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can improve the pulmonary function, reduce the airway inflammation and systemic inflammation, alleviate clinical symptoms, and has some value in checking the progress of disease, prolonging the survival time.
