description BACKGROUND: The role of ambroxol hydrochloride combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy in elderly patients with severe pneumonia remains unclear, we aimed to analyze this issue to provide evidences into the management of clinical pneumonia. METHODS: We searched PubMed et al databases up to October 20, 2021 for the randomized controlled trials on the application of ambroxol hydrochloride combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy in elderly patients with severe pneumonia. Related outcomes were extracted and analyzed. Review Manager 5.3 software was used for data analysis. RESULTS: A total of 13 randomized controlled trials involving 1317 elderly patients (559 cases in the ambroxol hydrochloride + fiberoptic bronchoscopy group and 658 cases in the fiberoptic bronchoscopy group) with pneumonia were included. Meta-analyses indicated that the blood oxygen partial pressure [mean difference (MD) = 5.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) (3.80, 7.70)], blood oxygen saturation [MD = 6.43, 95% CI (4.39, 8.48)], oxygenation index [MD = 26.75, 95% CI (14.61, 38.89)] of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group (all P < .001), the incidence of multiple organ failure [odds ratio = 0.42, 95% CI (0.31, 0.56), P < .001], mortality on day 28 [odds ratio = 0.44, 95% CI (0.33, 0.59)] of experimental group was significantly less than that of control group (all P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The high-dose ambroxol hydrochloride combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy is beneficial to improve the patient's blood gas indicators, and reduce mortality in elderly patients with severe pneumonia.
