Abstract

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of shengmai injection (SMI) on respiratory function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods: Twenty patients with COPD were continuously treated with SMI by intravenous drip for 14 days and their lung vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced vital capacity of the first second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP),load respiratory time (LT), 6 minute walk distance (6 MWD), arterial blood gas analysis, and Borg dyspnea scale were examined respectively before and after treatment and compared before and after treatment or with the control group.Results: After treatment all parameters in the treated group were significantly better than those in the control group or than those before treatment (P<0.05) with the exception of FVC and FEV1/FVC.Conclusion: SMI could improve respiratory function in COPD. So it is an effective rehabilitative injection in treating COPD.
