Abstract:
Objective To investigate the characteristics of pathogen distribution and drug resistance of pulmonary infection in hemorrhagic brain injury patients from neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU).Methods Clinical data of 234 patients with hemorrhagic brain injury hospitalized in NICU from March 2013 to September 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the incidence of pulmonary infection,the patients were divided into pulmonary infection group and non-pulmonary infection group.Parameters estimated were admission GCS,sex,age,history of smoking,time of coma,duration of mechanical ventilation,NICU length of stay.Patients in pulmonary infection group were analyzed on the distribution of pathogens and incidence of drug resistance.Results A total of 158 patients (67.5％) had pulmonary infection.Among them 60 cases (38.6％) were found to be co-infected including infection with two pathogens in 26 cases (16.5％),three pathogens in 19 cases (12.0％),and four and more pathogens in 16 cases (10.1％).Age and smoking increased the incidence of pulmonary infection (P ＜ 0.05).Time of coma,duration of mechanical ventilation,and NICU length of stay were prolonged in pulmonary infection group than in non-pulmonary infection group (P ＜ 0.05).A total of 219 strains of pathogens were isolated from the patients in pulmonary infection group.Specifically,there were 193 strains of gram negative bacteria (88.1％),13 strains of gram positive bacteria (5.9％),and 13 strains of fungi (5.9％).Gram negative were sensitive to amikacin,imipenem,cefoperazone/ sulbactam and ciprofloxacin.Staphylococcus aureus isolated were 100％ sensitive to vancomycin,linezolid and teicoplanin,and were completely penicillin resistant.Fungi were not resistant to voriconazole,itraconazole,ketoconazole,fluconazol,and amphotericin B.Conclusions High incidence of pulmonary infection is noted among the hemorrhagic brain injury patients in NICU,and the pathogens are diverse dominated by Gram negative bacteria.Incidence of multi-drug resistant pulmonary infection is high,indicating that the key point is to choose antibiotics rationally based on drug sensitivity test.
