ABSTRACT |
Objectives: This clinical study reports on the effects of Yukgunja-tang on aspiration pneumonia.
Method: This case examined a comatose male patient who suffers from continuous regurgitation. He showed symptoms of aspiration pneumonia with accompanying gastroesophageal reflux. We gave the patient Yukgunja-tang for 28 days and observed any changes in symptoms.
Results: During the period when the patient was given Yukgunja-tang, he defecated on his own without glycerin enema, regurgitation occurred less frequently, and the aspiration pneumonia symptoms improved.
Conclusion: Yukgunja-tang helped the patient’s bowel movements move more quickly and smoothly through his colon. As a result, Yukgunja-tang appears to have prevented regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia. |
Key words:
