Observational analysis shows valve bronchial blockade improves results in purulent-destructive lung disease patients, suggesting a benefit over drug treatment alone.
The aim of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness of valve bronchial blockade in the complex treatment of complications of purulent-destructive non-specific lung diseases. Materials and methods: 110 patients with acute lung destruction, post-resection empyema, chest trauma complicated by bronchial fistulas were divided into two groups according to the method of treatment: Group 1 - patients who received valve bronchial blockade against the background of drug treatment; Group 2 - patients who received only drug treatment. Methods: clinical, radiological, endoscopic. The results are assessed as good, weak effect and no effect. Among patients in Group I with a good effect, there were 32.4% more than in Group II, the residual pleural cavity was eliminated 39.7% more often. Conclusion: Inclusion of valve bronchial blockade in the treatment complex of patients with the specified pathology allows achieving better results compared to patients who received only drug treatment.
