Relationship between gastrointestinal and pulmonary infection with PPIs in severe craniocerebral injury patients / 药学实践杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the occurrence rate of gastrointestinal and pulmonary infection and hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP)in severe craniocerebral injuries in my hospital using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) ,discuss the right way to use PPIs for severe craniocerebral injuries .Methods The case histories of 141 severe craniocerebral injuries in my hospital from 2011 to 2012 were looked up ,and divided into three groups as followsthe group that never used PPIs(17 cases) ,the group that used PPIs for a long time (59 cases) ,and the group that used PPIs for a short time (65 cases) ,and the risks of getting infected using PPIs were analyzed in those three groups above .Results The patients in PPIs group had a higher risk of gastrointestinal tract infection and HAP ,especially who were treated with PPIs more than 9 days .Adjusted by GCS score ,using PPIs for a long time was a risk factor in different multivariate logistic .Conclusion Using PPIs for a long time might be a risk factor of gastro‐intestinal tract infection and HAP .Therefore ,apart from considering the state of illness ,more attention should be paid to the u‐sing time w hen use PPIs .
