Clinical Application of Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy in Treatment of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia / 昆明医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the value of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in treatment of ventilator associated pneumonia. Methods The 168 cases of ventilator associated pneumonia in ICU were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, each group of 84 cases, were given oxygen, anti-inflammatory, expectorant treatment. Treatment group was given fiber bronchoscope sputum suction and irrigation, control group was given sputum suction tube, then we observed the oxygenation changes after sputum suction of two groups of patients, compared clinical efficacy, sputum culture positive rate, antibiotic using time and staying time in the ICU between two groups of patients. Results Compared with control group, in treatment group SaO2, PaO2 and oxygen index were significantly improved (P< 0.05) ; in treatment group CRP, PCT and IL-6 were significantly improved (P <0.05) . In the treatment group, the total effectiveness is significantly higher than the control group;antibiotic using time and staying time of ICU were obviously shorter than the control group (P< 0.05) . Conclusion Fiberoptic bronchoscopy irrigation treatment can improve oxygenation, antibiotic using time and staying time in ICU of ventilator associated pneumonia patients, and is worthy of clinical application.
