International Research in Chinese Medicine

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of treating ventilator-associated diaphragmatic dysfunction based on the concept of cultivating earth and generating gold in traditional Chinese medicine. Methods: 180 patients with ventilator-associated diaphragmatic dysfunction admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to October 2022 were selected as the research objects, and were divided into the observation group (conventional western medicine treatment+traditional Chinese medicine treatment scheme with the concept of cultivating earth and generating gold) and the reference group (conventional western medicine treatment) to compare the clinical efficacy. Results: The time of mechanical ventilation in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group (P; The success rate of ventilator weaning in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05); The diaphragm function of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Patients with ventilator-associated diaphragmatic dysfunction can effectively improve the clinical efficacy and diaphragm function of patients by accepting the concept of cultivating earth and generating gold in traditional Chinese medicine, so as to help patients get rid of ventilators as soon as possible. It is recommended to popularize this concept.
