Clinical Effect of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine in Treating Chronic Bronchitis and Complicated with Emphysema

Abstract

Chronic bronchitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by lung dysfunction caused by various causes. Clinically, the main manifestations are chronic cough, sputum cough and chest tightness and other symptoms, and accompanied by emphysema in patients with dyspnea, cough and asthma are more obvious. According to statistics, the prevalence rate of Chinese adults is 4.2%~6.4%. At present, the research on chronic bronchitis complicated with emphysema at home and abroad is still in the early stage or mainly in the acute attack stage, which is mostly related to the long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, surgical treatment and smoking. For patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema, it is not feasible to use antibiotics alone, while TCM treatment can not only improve the symptoms but also improve the quality of life of the patients. This paper will summarize the clinical effect and prospects of Chinese and Western medicine in patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema in recent years.
