ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the influence of tracheotomy after two wet fluid on airway and provide the basis for clinical treatment and care. Methods A total of 30 patients with severe brain injury stay neurosurgery tracheotomy were divided into 0.45% sodium chloride group and ambroxol hydrochloride group with 15 cases each by random digits table method, two airway humidification liquid (0.45%sodium chloride,0.9% sodium chloride + ambroxol hydrochloride) were each instilled in the trachea inner sleeve. Blood gas analysis was performed and the levels of serum lung surface active substances related protein-A (SP-A protein), interleukin-6, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before 1 d and after 3,7,14 d of tracheotomy. Results There were significant differences in arterial blood oxygen partial pressure, arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure, oxygenation index after 14 d of tracheotomy between ambroxol hydrochloride group and 0.45% sodium chloride group:(110.72±26.75) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs.(89.39±21.98) mmHg, (30.44±6.75) mmHg vs. (35.12±7.28) mmHg, 333.23±80.56 vs. 270.93±77.21, t=29.49,-8.63,7.44, P<0.01.There were significant differences in the levels of serum SP-A protein, interleukin -6, interleukin -8, TNF-α after 14 d of tracheotomy between ambroxol hydrochloride group and 0.45% sodium chloride group:(191.34 ±1.21) ng/L vs. (61.92 ±12.0) ng/L, (2.62 ±0.23) ng/L vs. (5.42 ±0.16) ng/L, (124.56 ±2.10) ng/L vs. (185.91 ±1.48) ng/L, (31.32±1.38) ng/L vs.(69.13±1.16) ng/L, t=75.72,-13.51,-23.89,-20.97, P<0.01. Conclusions The airway humidification effect of ambroxol hydrochloride group is better than 0.45%sodium chloride group, it can improve the wetting effect, and better protect the lung tissue, reduce the incidence of lung infection, make it an ideal airway humidification liquid.
