Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To find out the situation of peri-operational lower respiratory tract infection in inpatients with congenital heart disease of left to right shunt and provide evidence for clinical prevention and treatment.METHODS Peri-operational lower respiratory tract nosocomial infection in 2 564 cases of congenital heart disease with left to right shunt during Jan 2003 to Dec 2005 was analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS The incidence rate of lower respiratory tract infection was 11.27% among 2 564 cases.The incidence rate was 15.51% in patients less than 2 years old.The most common pathogen was Pseudomonas aeruginosa(18.60%).The death rate in cases with lower respiratory tract nosocomial infection was higher than these non-infection cases.CONCLUSIONS Pulmonary congestion,less than 2 years old,mechanical ventilation and antibiotics abuse are main causes of lower respiratory tract nosocomial infection in patients with congenital heart disease with left to right shunt.Nosocomial infection can increase death rate.
