ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the characteristics of lower respiratory tract infection occurring in patients after craniocerebral surgery in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and explore its nursing countermeasures. Methods Sixty-eight patients with lower respiratory tract infection after craniocerebral surgery in the ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2015 to March 2016 were selected as the study subjects. All patients were treated with dehydration to reduce intracranial pressure, hemostasis, anti-infection, anti-epilepsy, mild hypothermia, hypoglycemia and other symptomatic supportive treatments, and the corresponding nursing measures were given. The patients' primary diseases and etiological examination results were analyzed. Results Of the 68 patients complicated with lower respiratory tract infection after craniocerebral surgery, the majority of primary disease was craniocerebral injury, accounting for 45.59% (31/68). A total of 127 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated, mainly Gram-negative (G-) bacteria [92 strains (accounting for 72.44% )];followed by Gram-positive (G+) bacteria [19 strains (accounting for 14.96%)] and fungi [16 strains (accounting for 12.60%)]. The main pathogens of G- were Acinetobacter baumannii 21 strains (accounting for 23.14%), Klebsiella pneumoniae 13 strains (accounting for 14.94%), Burkholderia cepacia 10 strains (accounting for 11.49%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 8 strains (accounting for 11.49%); the main pathogens of G+ was Staphylococcus aureus 6 strains (accounting for 5.89%). Conclusion The incidence of lower respiratory tract infection in ICU patients after craniocerebral surgery is high. It is necessary to prevent and control the related risk factors as soon as possible, and take energetic and effective nursing measures to reduce the incidence of lower respiratory tract infection.

Nine cases of SSI were superficial incision infection,there was no deep incision infection,the other 47 cases of SSI were intracranial infection(organ space infection).There was no significant difference in the incidence of SSI be-tween two groups of patients(P＞0.05).Conclusion Grade I and II cleanliness operating rooms have no direct effect on SSI in patients undergoing neurosurgical craniocerebral operation,comprehensive prevention and control mea-sures should be taken to prevent the occurrence of SSI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore risk factors for healthcare-associated infection (HAI)in patients undergoing craniocerebral operation,and provide guidance for the prevention of HAI in patients in department of neurosurgery. Methods 200 patients who underwent craniocerebral operation in a department of neurosurgery from November 2013 to November 2014 were surveyed,risk factors for HAI were analyzed.Results Among 200 patients undergo-ing craniocerebral operation,81 patients developed 99 cases of HAI,HAI rate was 40.50%,HAI case rate was 49.50%;the top five HAI sites were lower respiratory tract,urinary tract,intracranial site,bloodstream,and in-testinal tract.Univariate analysis showed that patients’age ≥60,Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)<15,intraoperative blood loss ≥800 mL,staying in intensive care unit(ICU),indwelling gastric tube,ventricular drainage,using ventilator,tracheotomy,and using H2 receptor antagonists were important risk factors for HAI in patients undergo-ing craniocerebral operation (all P <0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients’age ≥60, GCS<15,staying in ICU,and using H2 receptor antagonists were independent risk factors for HAI in patients un-dergoing craniocerebral operation.Conclusion Strengthening the surveillance of HAI patients undergoing cranioce-rebral operation and realizing risk factors for HAI are helpful for taking comprehensive prevention measures and re-ducing the incidence of HAI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of metoclopramide combined with early enteral nutritional on patients with mechanical ventilation after craniocerebral operation.Methods A prospective randomized control study was conducted.56 patients with mechanical ventilation after craniocerebral operation were randomly divided into metoclopramide combined with early enteral nutritional group (observation group) and parenteral nutrition group (control group),28 in each group.The patients in the observation group received early enteral nutrition (24-48 h after operation),and intramuscular injection of metoclopramide (10mg Q8H) for 7 days.The patients in the control group received parenteral nutrition.The nutritional parameters,mechanical ventilation (MV) time,success rate of the ventilator weaning and the occurrence rate of pneumonia associated with ventilation (VAP) in one week,the incidence of adverse reaction were compared between the two groups.Results After 1 week therapy,the nutritioual parameters of the two groups showed no statistical significance(P ＞ 0.05);the observation group compared with the control group,3 、7days of blood glucose(P1 、P2) decreased significantly[(8.9 ± 1.6) mmol/L vs (11.4 ± 3.2) mmol/L,(8.2 ± 1.3) mmol/L vs (10.6 ± 2.1) mmol/L] (P1 =0.002,P2 =0.011),Mechanical ventilation (MV) time (P3) and the occurrence rate of VAP(P4) in one week also declined[(6.5 ±2.3)d vs (8.9 ±3.1)d,21.4％ vs 46.4％] (P3 =0.022,P4 =0.048),but within a week of success rate of the ventilator weaning improved (67.9％ vs 39.3％,P5 =0.032).Return rate (P6),gastrointestinal bleeding (P7) was significantly lower than those of the control group (17.9％ vs 42.9％,14.3％ vs 42.9％,P6 =0.042,P7 =0.038),but abdominal distention,diarrhea were no significant contrast (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Metoclopramide combined with early enteral nutritional may obviously improve the nutrition parameters,shorten the MV time,decrease the occurrence rate of VAP,not increase in side effects.
