超短波在传染性非典型性肺炎综合治疗中的应用研究

Application of ultrashort wave diathermy in treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome

目的 探索超短波在传染性非典型肺炎综合治疗中应用的效果。方法 确诊“非典”患者共38例 ,治疗组 1 8例 ,对照组 2 0例 ,治疗组增加超短波治疗 ,每日 1次 ,每次 1 5min ,平均治疗 9.50± 2 .60次。观察患者对超短波治疗的一般临床反应 ;比较两组激素使用情况和病程。结果 治疗组激素减量的幅度较对照组大 ,病程明显缩短 (F =1 .2 96 ,P <0 .0 5)。结论 超短波在传染性非典型肺炎的综合治疗中应用可加速肺部炎性病灶吸收 。

Objective To observe the effectiveness of ultrashort wave diathermy in the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Methods Of the 38 cases of SARS we observed, 20 were treated with various drugs including antiviral agents and methylprednisolone (control group), the other 18 with ultrashort wave diathermy of the chest in addition to the drugs (observation group). The patient's general condition, length of stay and the total dosage of methylprednisolone used during the patient's stay in the hospital were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results It was shown that the total dosage used for the patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group. As well, the length of stay of the patients in the observation group was shorter than the control group ( P <0.05). Conclusion Ultrashort wave diathermy is a valuable addition to the armament for treating SARS. It can accelerate the repairing of lung tissue and shorten patient's length of stay.
