Abstract:

AIM: To observe the clinical effect of non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (USCOM) combined with milrinone in children with severe pneumonia and heart failure and the effect on brain natriuretic peptide levels. METHODS: Seventy-eight children with severe pneumonia and heart failure were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 39 cases in each group. The control group received oxygen, anti-infection, anti-heart failure and maintenance of ionic acid-base balance treatment, and was given intravenous infusion of dopamine 5 μg·kg-1·min-1 for 24 h. The observation group was given milrinone 0.5 μg·kg-1·min-1 based on the control group, intravenous drip, maintained for 24 h. Both groups received 5 d treatment, and the clinical symptoms, signs improvement rate, cardiac function index, inflammatory factors, brain natriuretic peptide levels, and adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the irritability disappeared, the wet rales disappeared, the liver retraction and the ruddy rosy improvement rate were higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The shortening rate of breast-feeding time in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the HR level in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); the Vpk, FTc and SVI levels in the observation group were higher than those in the observation group. After treatment, the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and brain natriuretic peptide in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); No significant difference of nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, blood pressure fluctuation and liver and kidney dysfunction (P>0.05) was observed between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Milrinone can achieve higher short-term curative effect in patients with severe pneumonia and heart failure, which can shorten the clinical symptoms and signs, reduce the incidence of inflammatory factors and adverse drug reactions, and give USCOM monitoring during the treatment to reflect the heart function of patients. Levels help to guide clinical treatment and are worth promoting.
