Abstract:
Objective? To explore the effects of multidisciplinary team (MDT) model on prevention of perioperative pulmonary infection among elderly patients. Methods? From August 2017 to May 2018, we selected 162 elderly patients with surgery in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at Renji Hospital affiliated to School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiaotong University. All of the patients were divided into groups according to hospitalization order. A total of 88 patients from August to December 2017 were in control group, and 74 patients from January to May 2018 were in intervention group. Control group provided routine nursing. On the basis of routine nursing, intervention group carried out the MDT intervention model. We compared the incidence of perioperative pulmonary infection and hospital stay of patients between two groups. Results? The incidence of perioperative pulmonary infection of intervention group (4.1%) was lower than that (13.6%) of control group with a statistical difference (P＜0.05). The hospital stay of patients of intervention group (8.502±2.542) days was less than that (9.342±2.343) days of control group also with a statistical difference (P＜0.05). Conclusions? MDT intervention can reduce the perioperative pulmonary infection among elderly patients and shorten the average hospital stay of patients.
