Abstract：Objective:To probe into the application effect of Mechanical-assisted expectoration combined with foot sun bladder meridian acupoint massage in nursing care of acute exacerbation of phlegm obstructing lung type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients(AECOPD).Methods:A total of 60 cases of phlegm ob-structing lung type of COPD patients were selected in department of respiration in Nantong affiliated hospital of Nanjing university of Chinese medicine from July 2014 to December 2015 and they were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,30 cases in each.Patients in control group were given conventional treat-ment combined with Mechanical-assisted expectoration.Besides that,the patients in experimental group re-ceived foot sun bladder meridian acupoint massage.The patients in two groups were treated for 7 days.Two groups of patients were observed on daily sputum volume,vital signs before and after treatment including heart rate(HR,respiratory(R),and percutaneous oxygen saturation(SpO2 )and indicators of the arterial blood gas a-nalysis including degree of acid and alkaline(pH value),arterial oxygen pressure(PaO2 )and arterial blood car-bon dioxide partial pressure(PaCO2 ).Results:The expectoration effect in experimental group was better than that in control group.After the treatment,the HR and respiratory rate were better than those in control group, SpO2 ,PaO2 and PH value were higher than those in control group,and PaCO2 was lower than that in control group.Conclusion:Mechanical assisted expectoration combined with foot sun bladder meridian acupoint mas-sage can effectively promote the sputum discharge and improve the ventilation and blood gas indicators.Its clini-cal efficacy was better than that of the simple mechanical assisted expectoration.
