Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of intermittent oxygen atomization inhalation on elderly patients with pulmonary infection. Methods 120 elderly patients with pulmonary infection were randomly divided into two groups, 60 in the observation group and 60 in the control group. Besides the routine drug treatment and routine nursing, the observation group adopted the intermittent atomization inhalation, while the control group adopted persistent atomization inhalation. The curative effects of the two groups were compared. Results The comfort degree, the time used to eliminate sputum, the disappearing time of cough and the time to control infection of the two groups were compared, and the difference had statistically significance (t =4. 56,21.12;P <0. 05).The difference of the respiration and blood oxygen saturation 1 hour after atomization inhalation of the two groups had statistically significance ( t = 22. 76,6. 5,7. 52,3.02 ; P < 0. 05 ). There were more side effects in the control group, and the difference had statistical significance (χ2 = 68.76, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions The intermittent oxygen atomization inhalation can increase the comfort degree of the patients, obviously shorten the time to eliminate inflammation, the disappearing time of cough and the time to control infection, reduce the side effects and improve the therapeutic effect among the patients with pulmonary infection.
