Effect of fibrobronchoscopic alveolar lavage combined with vibration expectoration on children with mycoplasma pneumonia

Objective: To study the effect of bronchoscopic alveolar lavage combined with vibration expectoration on mycoplasma pneumonia in children. Methods: 80 children with mycoplasma pneumonia in the respiratory department of a hospital were selected, and 40 cases were divided into combination treatment group and conventional treatment group according to the random number table. Children in the conventional treatment group received conventional anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment, and children in the combined treatment group were treated by fiberoptic bronchoalveolar lavage combined with aspiration on the basis of the conventional treatment group. Clinical efficacy, duration of fever, hospital stay, lung rale absorption, antibiotic use, and pulmonary infection before and after treatment were compared. Results: The duration of fever and hospitalization in the combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in the conventional treatment group (P <0.01). During the same treatment period, the pulmonary rale absorption in the combination treatment group was significantly better than that in the conventional treatment group, and the proportion of triple antibiotics used in the combination treatment group was 9.47%, which was significantly lower than that of 43.62% in the conventional treatment group (P <0.01). There was no significant difference in clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) between the 2 groups (P> 0.05)); the CPIS score was significantly lower than the conventional group at 7d and 14 d (P <0.01). Conclusion: This technique is effective in the treatment of children with mycoplasma pneumonia. It shortens the course of disease, effectively controls infection and reduces antibiotics. It is worth promoting in clinic.
