| Objective: The propose of this study was to explore the therapy efficacy oftiotropium associate with salmeterol/fluticasone in patients with severely or extremelychronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods:We conducted a prospectivestudys of50patients with severely or extremely COPD,which were randomly divided intoexperimental group (25cases) and control group (25cases).All patients were givenconventional oxygen,anti-infection,cough relieving,eliminate sputum,and asthma control(intravenous drip Doxofylline) treatment.Tiotropium and salmeterol/fluticasone inhalationwere used in test group.The control group were used salmeterol/fluticasone instead.Testtheir pulmonary function,arterial blood gases,and MRC.before and after six month forpersistent therapy.Results:Before treatment, the two groups of lung functionã€arterialblood gas and MRC had no significant difference.After treatment for six month,the twogroups of lung function and arterial blood gas had great improve than before (P<0.01).The forced vital capacity (FVC),one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1),firstsecond forced expiratory volume accounted for the predicted value (FEV1%Pred),arterialoxygen pressure (PaO2),arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2),MRC.group werebetter than control group’s (P<0.05).Conclusion:Tiotropium associate with salmeterol/fluticasone were better than salmeterol/fluticasone alone in improving pulmonaryfunction,arterial blood gas and MRC in patients with severe COPD. |
