Abstract:
Objective To compare the effects of airway humidification by intermittent atomization inhalation and micro pump control on pulmonary infection after tracheotomy in elderly patients with serebral hemorrhage. Methods From February 2012 to February 2013, 46 elderly patients with heavy craniocerebral injury and tracheotomy were set as the control group, treated with intermittent atomization inhalation. From March 2013 to March 2014, 50 elderly patients with severe craniocerebral injury and tracheotomy were set as the observation group, treated with micro pump controlled continuous airway humidification. The two groups were compared in terms of the satisfaction rate and incidence of pulmonary infection. Result The satisfaction rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group and the incidence of pulmonary infection was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Micro pump controlled airway humidification for elderly patients with severe craniocerebral injury can improve the airway humidification effect and reduce the incidence of pulmonary infection.
