Abstract:
Study on 120 respiratory infection patients (mean ages 37.82 7.63) who were hospitalized in SICU at Viet Duc hospital from 2000-2003 to investigate the efficacy of treating respiratory infection. Results: the rate of respiratory infection associated mechanical respiratory in these patients was 26.08%. Average time of mechanical respiratory was 10.51 1.87 days. Bacteria caused the disease included P.aeruginosa 33.13%, Acinetobacter 22.08%, Klebsiella 14.72%, E. coli 12.88%, Enterobacter 2.45, Proteus 1.84% and S.aureus 12.26%. Symptoms such as fever, increased leucocytes, bronchial secretion and lung X ray regressed at the third day, but the major of these disappeared at the 5th to 7th day after treatment. Good effect of the treatment was 89.18%, failures and mortality 11.82%. Cases of recurrence and death were due to bacteria such as P. aeruginose and Acinetobacter resisted to antibiotic. There were no differences about the efficacy in patients infected one or two kinds of bacteria.
