Abstract: Objective To explore the risk factors,composition of pathogen and drug sensitivity of pulmonary infection in neurosurgical intensive care unit(NICU) and provide basis forclinical effective prevention and appropriate treatment.Methods Retrospective analysis the detected pathogenic strains,theirdrug resistance and predisposing factors of the cases of pulmonary infection in NICU from January 2010 to September 2011.Results Among the isolated 602 bacteriastrains,363 strains (60.2％ ) were G-bacteria,71 strains ( 11.8％ ) were G + bacteria,168 strains (28 ％ )were molds.In G-bacteria,the main strains are acinetobacter and pseudomonas aeruginosa,and in G+ bacteria,staphylococcus epidermidis based most.Conclusion Acinetobacter has become the dominant flora of pulmonary infection in NICU and it has multidrug resistance to antibiotics in clinical.The Specific pathogen should be indentified through bacteriological examination of sputum as soon as possible,and the antibiotics should be used alternatively based on their drug sensitivity to control lung infection in critically ill patients.
