| Objective To observe the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine external treatment unit therapy on emergency patients with wasp stings. Methods Seventy patients with wasp stings admitted to the Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from April 2021 to September 2023 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group using a random number table method,with 35 cases in the observation group and 35 cases in the control group.The control group used basic treatment methods,while the observation group added traditional Chinese medicine external treatment unit therapy to the basic treatment method,with a course of 5 days.Compare The clinical efficacy,numeric rating scale(NRS),and toxic effects indicators of the two groups of patients were compared before and after treatment.Toxic effects indicatorsinclude aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase(AST/ALT), total bilirubin(TBIL),serumcreatinine(SCr),activated partial thrombin time(APTT),and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)were compared.Finally,the time was recorded when the swelling at the two groups of stings began to subside. Results The total effective rate of the observation group (85.71%) was higher than that of the control group (62.86%). The time for swelling to subside in the observation groupwas shorter than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The difference in NRS score,AST/ALT,TBIL value,SCr value,APTT value,and hs-CRP value between the two groups of patients before and after treatment was statistically significant(P＜0.05). Conclusions Traditional Chinese medicine external treatment unit therapy can promote the local swelling and regression of wasp stings,alleviate pain,reduce toxic effect indicators,promote inflammation absorption,and accelerate patient recovery. |
