RESUMEN
Objective To explore the effect of continuous aspiration of subglottic secretion at different negative pressure levels on mechanical ventilation. Methods Toally 142 patients were randomized by way of lottery into the control group (n=70) and the experiment group ( n = 72 ): the control group received continuous negative pressure aspiration of subglottic secretion at a negative pressure of 60 mmHg while the experiment group did 30~40 mmHg for grade I of the sticky secretion , 40~60 mmHg for gradeⅡ~Ⅲof the sticky secretion, respectively. The two groups were compared in terms of the rate of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), airway mucosal injury and cough. Result There was no significant difference in the rate of ventilator associated pneumonia (P>0.05), but the rates of airway mucosal injury and cough were lower in the experiment group than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion It is reasonable to choose different negative pressure levels based on stickiness of the secretions for mechanical ventilation, for it can prevent the ventilator associated pneumonia and airway mucosal injury.
RESUMEN
Objective To probe into the role of nursing classification and marking management in ICU nursing management. Methods According to the admission date,the first 87 patients hospitalized in our department were assigned into the control group and another 84 into the intervention group.Then the human resources were divided based on the ABCD nursing classification and marking management for ICU.The two groups were compared in terms of adverse events.Results The incidences of pressure sores, non-planned extubation,improper clinostatism for using respirator,hypoglucycaemia during reinforced treatment with insulin, respirator-associated pulmonary pneumonia,tube-associated infection,and multidrug resistant bacteria in the intervention group were all significantly lower than those in the control group (allP<0.05).Conclusion The nursing classification and marking management for ICU nursing management can enhance the nursing quality.
