Objective To explore the curative effect of formoterol combined with glycopyrronium bromide on patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（AECOPD）. Methods The research cut-off period was from January 2021 to June 2023．A total of 97 patients with AECOPD were selected from Lianjiang People's Hospital for research．On the basis of mutual knowledge,they were divided into groups by odd and even numbers．The odd numbers were drawn into the control group（n=48,treated with formoterol）and the odd numbers were drawn into the observation group（n=48,treated with formoterol+glycopyrronium bromide）,the pulmonary function index,blood gas index,symptom improvement and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment,the lung function indexes of the two groups were higher than those before treatment,while the indexes of the observation group were higher than those of the control group（P<0.05）．PaO₂ was higher and PaCO₂ was lower in the two groups after treatment,and the blood gas indexes in the observation group were different from those in the control group（P<0.05）．The scores of COPD assessment test and St. George's Respiratory Questionaire in the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment,while the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group（P<0.05）;There was no significant difference between the observation group（8.33%）and the control group（12.24%）（P>0.05）. Conclusions The choice of formoterol and qualified ammonium bromide for AECOPD is helpful to improve the lung function,blood gas index and respiratory symptoms,And the security is guaranteed．
