Observation and nursing of patients with inhalation injury under airway lavage / 现代临床护理

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of airway lavage on patients with inhalation injury.Methods Sixty patients in our department with simple inhalation injury were divided into experimental group(n=30)and control group(n=30).The control group accepted traditional nursing care(aspiration of sputum,aerosol inhalation,backslap and body position adjusting) and the experimental group accepted timed airway lavage and necessary ventilator-assisted breathing in addition to traditional nursing.The arterial blood gas value(PaO2,PaCO2),rate of sputum crab plugging and lung infection were compared.Result The lung function, SpO2 and PaO2 significantly increased and rate of sputum crab plugging and lung infection significantly decreased in experiment group (P<0.05).Conclusion Airway lavage can clear sputum crab in time,improve lung fuction and reduce lung infection of patients with inhalation injury.
