Abstract

Objective: To explore the application value of Kechuan Yifei Bushen Decoction in the clinical treatment of chronic bronchitis in the elderly. Methods: From the elderly patients with chronic bronchitis admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to December 2023, 100 people were selected as research subjects, and they were divided into a traditional Chinese medicine decoction group and a Western medicine group using the random number table method, with 50 people in each group. The western medicine group was treated with a conventional western medicine regimen, while the traditional Chinese medicine decoction group was treated with Kechuan Yifei Bushen Decoction on the basis of the western medicine group. Then the symptom scores, lung function and clinical treatment effects of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were compared. Results: Before treatment, the difference in symptom scores and pulmonary function indicators between the two groups of patients was not significant (P > 0.05); after one course of treatment, the cough score and sputum score of the TCM decoction group were (1.20 ± 0.50), (1.10 ± 0.40) points and wheezing points (1.00 ± 0.30) points were lower than those of the Western medicine group (2.50 ± 0.70) points, (2.30 ± 0.60) points, and (2.10 ± 0.50) points. Its FEV₁%pred was (72.50 ± 6.80)% and FEV₁/FVC was (68.30 ± 5.20)%, which were both higher than those of the western medicine group (63.20 ± 5.60)% and (60.50 ± 4.80)%, and the total effective rate of the TCM decoction group of 94.00% (47/50) was also higher than the total effective rate of the Western medicine group of 78.00% (39/50). The differences in these comparisons were obvious (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of elderly patients with chronic bronchitis using Kechuan Yifei Bushen Decoction combined with conventional western medicine can effectively improve their clinical symptoms, improve lung function and improve clinical treatment effects, so it has high clinical application value.
