Abstract:To evaluate the effects of budesonide inhalation by different methods on lung and thorax compliance and Arterial blood gas in the AECOPD patients. Methods A total of 83 patients with AECOPD were chosen and were divided into the two group according to the random number table, 40 of them accepted sinus flow pump nebulized budesonide (sinus flow pump group), 43 recieved oxygen drived nebulizer (oxygen drived group). The scores of COPD assessment test, arterial blood gas analysis parameters and lung and thorax compliance were recorded before and after therapy in every groups. Results Before and after treatment, the CAT score, chest compliance (Ct, CI, Cth), pulmonary ventilation index (FEV10, PEF, MIP,MEP) and blood pH had no significant difference in the sinus flow pump group and oxygen drived group (p >0.05), but PaCO2 level was better in the sinus flow pump group than that of oxygen drived group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Sinus flow pump nebulized budesonide is safer than oxygen drived nebulizer for AECOPD who without hypercapnemia.
