Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: We examined the effects of Sinbi-tang on a patient with pontine hemorrhage and respiratory disturbance.
Methods: A patient diagnosed with pontine hemorrhage and respiratory disturbance was treated with herbal medicine and acupuncture. We checked the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) by oximetry three times a day, and obtained an average value. We evaluated the improvement of symptoms by changes in the average applied O2 and average SpO2.
Results: After taking Sinbi-tang and treatment with acupuncture therapy, the patient showed improvement in respiratory disturbance. Applied O2 was gradually decreased from 4 L/min to 0 L/min and SpO2 was stabilized.
Conclusions: Korean medicine may provide effective treatment for respiratory disturbance in patients with pontine hemorrhage, but further study is needed.
