目的：观察用中西医结合的综合疗法治疗胃肠功能衰竭的疗效。方法：将１９例胃肠功能衰竭患者随机分为治疗组（１０例）和对照组（９例）。在常规治疗基础上治疗组采用中西医结合的综合疗法，对照组只采用西医治疗。观察治疗前后２组实验室检查指标、胃镜、腹部Ｘ线检查变化情况。结果：胃镜和腹部Ｘ线检查，治疗组１０例均有效，对照组９例中６例有效，２组有效率分别为１００．０％与６６．７％，有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．０５）。治疗组治疗后血红蛋白、白细胞、中性粒细胞、粪潜血、尿素氮及二氧化碳结合力与治疗前比较均显著改善（Ｐ均＜０．０５）；对照组治疗前后比较，上述指标均无显著性差异（Ｐ均＞０．０５）。结论：采用中西医结合的综合疗法治疗胃肠功能衰竭可促进胃肠道有效防御屏障功能恢复，阻止胃肠道细菌与毒素吸收或易位，打断胃肠功能衰竭向多脏器功能衰竭转化的连锁反应，有利于胃肠功能的尽早恢复，其疗效显著，优于单纯西药治疗 Objective: To observe the curative effect of gastrointestinal failure treated with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. Methods: Nineteen patients with gastrointestinal failure were randomly divided into treatment group (n = 10) and control group (n = 9). On the basis of routine treatment, the treatment group was treated with the combination of TCM and Western medicine, while the control group was treated with Western medicine only. Observed before and after treatment 2 groups of laboratory tests, endoscopy, abdominal X-ray examination of changes. Results: Gastroscopy and abdominal X-ray examination showed that 10 cases were effective in the treatment group and 6 cases in the control group. The effective rates of the two groups were 100.0% and 66.7%, respectively, with significant difference (P <0. 05). After treatment, hemoglobin, leucocyte, neutrophil, fecal occult blood, urea nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the treatment group were significantly improved compared with those before treatment (all P <0.05). There was no significant difference in the control group before and after treatment Difference (all P> 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of gastrointestinal failure can promote effective gastrointestinal defense function recovery, to prevent gastrointestinal bacteria and toxins absorption or translocation, interrupted gastrointestinal failure to multiple organ failure failure Of the chain reaction is conducive to early recovery of gastrointestinal function, the effect was significant, superior to Western medicine alone
