Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in alleviating severe mycoplasma pneumonia in children. Method A total of 50 children with severe mycoplasma pneumonia who were hospitalized in Liaocheng Second People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected as the research objects, and they were randomized divided into two groups. The control group was given azithromycin and methylprednisolone succinate. Sodium and other conventional anti-infective drug regimens were given, and the experimental group was also given a bronchoalveolar lavage regimen with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The differences in the treatment effect, symptom improvement time, hospital stay, inflammatory indexes and complications were compared between the two groups. Results The total effective rate of children with severe mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in experimental group was higher than that in control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Temperature recovery time index, rales disappearance time index, cough disappearance time index and hospital stay index in the experimental group were lower than in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate and procalcitonin (PCT) in the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). The levels of CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and PCT in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in complication rate between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with the conventional anti-infection regimen, fiberoptic bronchoscopy can achieve better results in the treatment of severe mycoplasma pneumonia in children. It can further shorten the hospitalization time, promote the improvement of inflammatory factors in children, and fiberoptic bronchoscopy treatment has no obvious adverse events.
