Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of continuous subglottic irrigation and aspiration in patients with artificial airway. Methods One hundred and twenty-eight patients with mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 64 cases in each group.The observation group was treated by continuous subglottic irrigation and aspiration,and the control group received traditional nursing.The two groups were observed and compared in terms of incidence of aspiration and ventilator-associated pneumonia.Result The incidences of ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP)and aspiration in the observation group were significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Continuous subglottic irrigation and aspiration can effectively prevent aspiration and VAP among patients with artificial airway.
