Effect evaluation of preventing ventilator associated pneumoia of patients with the oral trachea can-nula by air impact method to remove airbags retentate / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate effect of preventing ventilator associated pneumoia (VAP) of patients with oral cavity endotracheal intubation by air impulse clearing away secretion drainage. Methods 348 patients with oral trachea cannula and mechanical ventilation (MV) in intensive care unit (ICU) were divided into control group (n=174) and observational group (n=174). The control group adopted conventional airway management methods without the subglottic secretion drainage while the observational group adopted conventional airway management methods on the basis of combining air impact method remove stranded on airbags. Other treatment and care for all of patients were basically the same. The MV time, duration in ICU and incident rate on VAP were compared between the two groups. Results The average of MV time in control group was (5.25±1.18) days, (5.62±3.20) days in ICU and the rate of VAP was 10.34%(18/174). In observational, it was (8.96 ±5.43) days, (10.43 ±4.96 ) days and 34.48%(60/174), respectively. The MV time, duration in ICU and incident rate on VAP were significantly different (P<0.05), with statistical significance. Conclusions The air impact method to remove airbags retentate could shorten time of MV and during time in ICU, and could reduce the rate of VAP.
