ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To explore the occurring characteristic and curing measures of hospital infection for inpatients with cardiovascular disease.METHODS The data of hospital infection for inpatients with cardiovascular disease from Jan to Dec,2004 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS The total incidence of hospital infection was 3.38% for inpatients with cardiovascular disease.The infection located as follows: 157 patients were in lower respiratory tract(48.2%);66 patients in upper respiratory tract(20.2%);40 patients in urinary tract(12.3%);33 patients in gastrointestinal tract(10.1%);and 18 patients were in cutis tissue ((5.5%).) CONCLUSIONS Pneumonia is one of the inducing factors to heart failure for patients with cardiovascular disease.Applying antibiotics reasonably,aseptic operation and treating the primary affection could decrease the incidence of hospital infection.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study the characteristic of the lower respiratory tract infection in patients with the cerebral hemorrhage and hypertension,and find out the measures of prevention and control. METHODS The discharged patients with the cerebral hemorrhage and hypertension from Jan 2002 to Dec 2004 underwent retrospective investigation and analysis for the sites and reasons and the results of bacterial culture. RESULTS The incidence of the lower respiratory tract infection in patients with the cerebral hemorrhage and hypertension was 55.55%.Major infection factors correlated with neurogenic pulmonary edema, irritable hyperglycemia,bulbar paralysis,etc.The Gram-nagative bacteria were predominant among the pathogens. CONCLUSIONS The infections are interrelated with many factors.Abiding by the principle of using antibiotic and the strict aseptic manipulation may reduce the occurrence of the infection,but treating the primary affection and the comprehensive therapy are important measures for reducing infection.
