Notes:
PCT, Procalcitonin; WBC, White blood cell; Hb, Hemoglobin; PLT, Platelet count; Scr, Serum creatinine; T.Bil, Total bilirubin; ALT, Alanine aminotransferase; Alb, Albumin; APTT, Activated partial thromboplastin time; NT-proBNP, N-terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide; Lac, Lactate; FiO2, Fraction of inspiration O2; Peep, positive end-expiratory pressure; OI, Oxygenation Index; APACHE-II, Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation-II; SOFA, Sequential organ failure assessment.
There were no any differences in laboratory examination, ventilator parameters, APACHE II score and SOFA score before treatment between two groups (P > 0.05).
The measured data of patients’ physiological indicators in the above table were shown by median (interquartile range).
P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
