Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of vibration sputum elimination combining infrared physiotherapy in the treatment of pneumonia in children, and to further analyze the clinical value of this method. Methods 78 cases with pediatric pneumonia admitted in our hospital from May 2014 to May 2015 were selected as the research object. According to the different treatment methods, they were divided into observation group and control group, 39 cases in each. Both groups of children were given drug therapy. The control group were treated with infrared physiotherapy, and the observation group were treated with vibration sputum elimination based on the method of control group. Before and after treatment, the blood gas indexes of the patients were recorded and the symptoms were ob-served closely. The remission period of symptoms was recorded. Results SPO2 and PO2 in observation group were increased after treatment, with statistically significant difference ( P<0. 05 ); RR and PCO2 indexes decreased significantly, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). RR and PCO2 in the control group were lower after treatment, but PO2 level was higher, with statis-tically significant difference (P<0. 05). The differences of RR, SPO2, PO2, PCO2 between two groups after treatment were statistical-ly significant (P<0. 05). The remission time of clinical symptoms (cough, fever, chest signs and X-ray shadow, etc. ) in observation group was shorter than that of the control group. The final hospitalization time of observation group was 10. 3 d, while that of control group was 13. 5 days, with statistical significant difference (P<0. 05). Conclusion vibration sputum elimination combining infrared physiotherapy can improve the symptoms and signs of children with pneumonia, and significantly improve the related blood gas indica-tors. Therefore it is worthy of promotion and application in the future.
