Distribution and bacterial suscptibility analysis of ventilator-associated pneumonia / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the characteristics of pathogens and bacterial susceptibility in the pa-tients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods The clinical characteristics of aetiological germ and bacterial susceptibility in 20 patients with VAP who were treated in the hospital department of respiratory medicine were analyzed. Results 20 patients with bronchial secretions cultured bacteria was 42. It showed that the isolating rate of gram-negative bacilli(GNB), gram-positlve cocci and fungus was 71.4%, 16.7% and 11.9% respeotively. Conclusions The main bacterium in patients with VAP was GNB,which exhibited higher resistance to common anti-biotics. More attention should be paid to the cultivation of aetiological bacteria and selection of antibiotics in the treat-ment of VAP.
