Abstract:
A prospective study on 65 patients (55 males – 86.9%, 9 females -14.1%) from 17-24 years of age in Intensive Care Unit, Viet Duc hospital from September 2001 to October 2003. Results as followed: Multi-traumatic (27) and severe traumatic brain injury patients (30), especially patients with shock, had high risk of pneumonia related to mechanical respiratory. Bacteria caused pneumonia mainly were Gram-negative aerobe bacillus (82.9%) in which Pneumobacillus was 40.6%, and Acinobacter was 20.3%. Pneumobacillus was quite sensitive to classical ß–lactam antibiotic group. aminoglycoside bacteria resisted 25% to amikacine, and 89% to gentamycine. Acinetobacter resisted 100% to cephalosporin 3rd and 4th generation and also resisted 41.75% to amikacine. However, it was still sensitive relatively to semi-synthetic penicillin and sensitive 100% to Imipenem.
