Abstract
Pneumonia with severe coughing and recurrent respiratory infections that is refractory to antibiotic treatment in those aged <6 months warrants targeted therapy. We found that infant pneumonia was closely related to gastric volvulus (GV) with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and that the complications of GER may be responsible for the ineffectiveness of antibiotic treatment in infant pneumonia. To study the preventative effects of massage on GV in infants with GER induced pneumonia, we recruited 180 infants (1-6 months) admitted to the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Wuhan Children's Hospital for GV with GER induced infant pneumonia. Those 180 inpatients were divided randomly into four groups: Basic treatment 1/2 (n=60/30) and massage treatment 1/2 (n=60/30). Clinical examinations selected between groups 1 and 2 were different. Radiography of the upper gastrointestinal tract using iodine containing contrast was assessed in group 1 before and after treatment, whereas 24 hours pH monitoring of the distal esophagus was assessed in group 2 before and after treatment. Symptom scores and chest radiography were assessed in all groups upon hospital admission and after procedures. Clinical effects were estimated after procedures in all groups. The prevalence of severe pneumonia among the four groups was compared. Our research illustrated that massage can prevent GV with GER induced infant pneumonia by timely correction of stomach rotation and subsequent attenuation of GER. Massage as an intervention in Traditional Chinese Medicine may be an important method for infants with GER induced pneumonia.Biography
