ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the influence and significance of respiratory filter on the judgment of pulmonary function and the conclusion of occupational health examination in occupational health examination. Methods: From August to November 2020, 252 occupational health examinees were randomly selected as the research objects, and the lung function was examined with the respiratory filter bite and the straight cylinder bite without filter, respectively. The lung function examination indexes and the qualification rate of lung function examination were analyzed and compared between the two groups, and the diagnostic criteria of lung function examination was corrected. Results: 252 subjects were 36 (30, 42) years old. The qualified rate of lung function examination with respiratory filter bite (28.17%, 71/252) was lower than that with straight cylinder bite (34.92%, 88/252) , the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . The percentage of forced vital capacity in normal predicted value (FVC%) , percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second in normal predicted value (FEV(1)%) , and percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second in forced vital capacity (FEV(1)/FVC%) of subjects using respiratory filter bite were lower than those using the straight cylinder bite (P<0.05) . The corrected diagnostic criteria of pulmonary function were FVC%>78%, FEV(1)%>77%, FEV(1)/FVC%>68%. There was no significant difference between the qualified rate of the respiratory filter bite lung function test calculated according to the corrected diagnostic criteria (35.71%, 90/252) and the qualified rate of the straight cylinder bite lung function test calculated according to the original diagnostic criteria (34.92%, 88/252) (P>0.05) . Conclusion: In occupational health examination, the use of respiratory filter may affect the results of pulmonary function examination. The diagnostic criteria of pulmonary function can be corrected according to different filtering effects to ensure the accuracy of the conclusions of occupational health examination.

Objective To investigate the effect of breathing filter(BF) on prevention of the respiratory tract infection in elder patients undergoing general anesthesia.Methods One hundred elderly who underwent the operation of gastrointestinal tumors were involved in the current study.They were randomly divided into control and experiment group and each for 50 cases.Patients in experiment group were given BF while in control group were not given.Bacteria on the tip of endotracheal tube and in the anesthesia machine circuits close to endotracheal tube were checked.The rate of the respiratory tact,infection of operative patients were recorded.Results After operation,a large number of bacterial growth in endotracheal catheter ends in both groups.The level of bacteria in the anesthesia machine circuits of control group was (305.2 ± 12.4) CFU/cm2,higher than that in experiment group ((10.2 ± 2) CFU/cm2 ; t =166.077,P ＜ 0.001).No patients in experimental group got respiratory tract infection in the follow up periods,but 5 patients (10.0％) in control group were infected,and the difference was significant (x2 =5.263,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion BF can effective filtrate the bacterial in breathing circuit,significantly reduce the incidence rate of respiratory tract infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To learn the influence of PALL BB25S and Tyco Hygroboy breathing filter (BF) to Ppeak and Pmean. Methods The changes of Ppeak and Pmean were detected by using PALL BB25S and tyco Hygroboy in simulation ventila- tion. Results (1)When BFs (PALL or tyco, adult or child) were applied and Vt from 100ml/T to 800ml/T, the effect of breathing filter can be no significant changed, but Pmean was raised and Ppeak no change. (2)To compare the tyco BFs, the Pmean of child BF and adult BF, Pmean was significant increased. Conclusion Both of PALL BF and Tyco BF only significantly increase Pmean.
