A Case-Control Study of Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration Combined with Xuebijing Injection in the Treatment of Severe Sepsis

Abstract

A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) combined with Xuebijing in the treatment of severe sepsis. In order to verify this claim, this study included 100 patients with severe sepsis treated in our hospital from February 2019 to April 2021. The patients were randomly divided into control group and study group. The control group was treated with CVVH, and the study group was treated with CVVH combined with Xuebijing. The curative effect and mortality, NT-proBNP, PCT, Ca∼_(2+), white blood cell count, neutrophil ratio, blood gas analysis, and APACHE-II score were compared between the two groups. The total effective rate of the study group was better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The fatality rate in the study group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The levels of NT-proBNP and PCT in the study group were lower than those in the control group, while the level of serum calcium in the study group was higher than that in the control group. After treatment, the white blood cell count (WBC) and neutrophil count in the study group were (13.76 ± 1.28) × 109 shock L and (73.48 ± 1.23)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (17.45 ± 1.36) × 109 shock L and (77.82 ± 1.44)% (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of APTT, PT, and DD in the study group were lower than those in the control group. The level of FIB in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group after treatment. After treatment, the PaO₂ and PaO₂/FiO₂ of the study group were higher than those of the control group, and the APACHE-II score of the study group was lower than that of the control group. CVVH combined with Xuebijing is of positive significance in the treatment of severe sepsis and is worth popularizing.
