ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the incidence of lung infection and associated factors in patients with traumatic brain injury for the sake of improving the clinical outcomes.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on records of 325 patients who hospitalized between January 2014 and June 2014.There were 198 male and 127 female patients,aged 11-78 years [(38.4 ±8.3) years].A total of 172 patients were injured in traffic accidents,80 in high falls,56 in blow accidents,and 17 in others.Lung infection status was documented and related risk factors were analyzed.Results Thirty-two patients (9.8%) had lung infection.Pseudomonas aeruginosa amounting to 12 strains was the most common pathogenic bacteria.Univariate analysis showed mechanical ventilation,airway open,and aspiration were significantly related to lung infection.Logistic regression identified aspiration (OR =2.891,P < 0.05) and mechanical ventilation (OR =1.323,P < 0.05) as the independent risk factors for lung infection.Conclusions Lung infection is a serious complication of traumatic brain injury,affected largely by aspiration and mechanical ventilation.Active preventions,reductions of risk factors,and early treatments should be done to get the best efficacy.
