How is shock-type pneumonia treated? A detailed explanation of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment methods
Shock is one of the acute and critical conditions, and if resuscitation is not timely, it can easily lead to immediate death. Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have resuscitation methods for shock, coma, and other conditions. At present, people seem accustomed to using Western medicine for resuscitation, but the key lies in curing the disease. Western medicine treats shock-type pneumonia with antibiotics, hormones, and so on, but this only treats the disease without addressing the root cause. Traditional Chinese medicine has always held that treating disease should focus on addressing the root cause, supporting healthy qi, and enhancing the body's own resistance to disease.
Shock-type pneumonia
After a patient with shock-type pneumonia has been resuscitated, awakened, and stabilized, Western medicine enters the anti-shock treatment stage. Specifically, for patients without renal insufficiency, based on heart rate, blood pressure, and urine output, 800-1000 ml of fluid can be rapidly infused; after blood pressure rises and urine output is >30 ml/h, the infusion rate is slowed, and the 24-hour fluid replacement volume can reach 3000-4000 ml. The fluids chosen are mainly crystalloid solutions (normal saline, 5% glucose saline, balanced salt solution), and when necessary, colloid solutions such as albumin and whole blood may be appropriately supplemented.
In Western medicine treatment of shock-type pneumonia, before the pathogen is fully identified, while the patient is kept at rest in a supine position, given oxygen, and kept warm, piperacillin (oxypiperazine penicillin) and timentin (ticarcillin plus clavulanate potassium); cefuroxime, cefotaxime, cefoperazone, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and others are generally used for treatment. Hormone therapy will also be introduced simultaneously or subsequently, for example, hydrocortisone 200-600 mg/d or dexamethasone 10-30 mg/d, added in divided doses to fluids for intravenous drip, with a course of 3-5 days. At the same time, ranitidine 150 mg is added, 1-2 times/d, to prevent stress ulcers.
Western medicine emergency resuscitation for shock-type pneumonia
In the treatment of shock-type pneumonia with traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese materia medica, in addition to traditional Chinese emergency techniques during the resuscitation period, Shengmai San, Sini Tang, Renshen Tang, and others can also be used. The specific traditional Chinese medicine treatment method for treating the disease and addressing the root cause is to apply traditional Chinese medicine theory, comprehensive analysis of the four diagnostic methods, the eight principles, and other approaches for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, therapies for preventing and treating complications will also be introduced. If there is heart failure or pulmonary edema, cedilanid plus glucose and other symptomatic treatments can be used. If the patient has a mild condition and the illness is relatively stable, Chinese patent medicines such as Chuanbei Pipa Lu and Yangyin Qingfei Gao can be used for treatment.
