Objective: This study was designed to analyze the clinical efficacy of ceftazidime combined with levofloxacin on heart failure complicated with pulmonary infection and its influence on cardiopulmonary function.
Methods: A total of 124 patients with heart failure and pulmonary infection admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to October 2019 were divided into groups according to different treatment schemes. Thereinto, 60 patients who were given ceftazidime intravenous drip on the basis of routine treatment were included in group A, and 64 who were given levofloxacin hydrochloride injection based on intravenous drip in group A were included in group B. The clinical efficacy, cardiac and lung function, pathogenic bacteria, infection, immune indexes and adverse reactions before and after treatment were compared.
Results: After treatment, the adjusted levels of LVEF, LVEDD and LA in group B after treatment were greater than those in group A (P<0.05); the levels of MMV, TLC and FEV1 in group B were increased more than those in group A (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of BNP, PCT and CRP in groups A and B decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). Furthermore, the down-regulated levels of BNP, PCT and CRP in group B were higher than those in group A after treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ in group B increased more and CD8+ decreased more. The clinical efficacy of group B after 7 days was higher than that of group A (P<0.01). Patients were followed up for one month, and there was no marked difference in their adverse drug reaction rates (P>0.05).
Conclusion: To sum up, ceftazidime combined with levofloxacin on patients with heart failure and pulmonary infection can improve the immune function while optimizing the clinical efficacy and cardiopulmonary function.
