Clinical study of atomization inhalation with mixture of baikal skullcap root and lightyellow sophora root for proventing invasive fungal infections on lower respiratory tract infection after chemotherapy / 中国现代医生

[Abstratct] Objective To investigate the preventive effect of atomization inhalation with mixture of baikal skullcap root and light yellow sophora root for proventing invasive fungal infection on lower respiratory tract infection after chemotherapy. Methods A total of 60 cases of patients with lower respiratory tract infections after chemotherapy were selected and randomized into control groups and treatment groups, there were 30 cases in every group, anti-infection was taken in two groups according to drug sensitivity test,atomamdation inhalation with mixture of baikal skullcap root and light yellow sophora root was taken in treatment groups in addition, clinical effect was contrasted, incidence rate and time of fungal infection were contrasted between control group and treatment group,and index of blood gas analysis was contrasted between control group and treatment group after two weeks. Results Clinical efficiency was 86.67% in treatment group and was 70.00% in control group,clinical efficiency was higher in treatment groups than in control group,incidence rate of fungal infection was 6.67% in treatment group and was 23.33% in control group,incidence rate of fungal infection was lower in treatment group than in control goup,time of fungal infection was (11.58±1.31)days in treatment group and was (9.41±1.10)days in control group,time of fungal infect was later in treatment group than that in control group. There were no significant differences of the levels of pH,SaO2,PaCO2 and PaO2 between the two groups before treatment, the levels of pH,SaO2,and PaO2 were higher and PaCO2 was lower in treatment group than that in control goup after treatment. Conclusion Atomization inhalation with mixture of baikal skullcap root and light yellow sophora root could improve clinical curative effect of lower respiratory tract infection after chemotherapy,and im-prove respiratory function,provent invasive fungal infections and has good clinical effect.

Ventilator-associated Pneumonia Caused by Acinetobacter baumannii:Its Causation Analysis and Interventions / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To explore the interventions for ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) caused by Acinetobacter baumannii by making investigation to the ICU patients on ventilators.METHODS Bacteria culture of bronchial discharge of patients on ventilators was conducted and followed by causation analysis of VAP caused by A.baumannii.RESULTS The prevalence of VAP caused by A.baumannii was 8.7%.The main reasons for VAP caused by A.baumannii were inappropriate use of antibiotics,long duration of mechanical assisted ventilation,contaminated ventilator and its accessories,unable to perform proper aseptic technique,and severity of the underlying illness.CONCLUSIONS For patients on ventilator,effective nursing interventions and sterilization and isolation techniques can reduce the infection and promote the treatment effects.
