Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of two sputum aspirations on old critical patients.Methods Sixty elderly critical patients were divided into the experiment group and control group in equal number.The former group received sputum aspiration by oropharynx airpipe and the control group by oronasal airpipe.The two groups were compared in terms of sputum aspiration effect and saturation of blood oxygen.Result The observation group was significantly better than the control group in terms of sputum aspiration effect and saturation of blood oxygen(both P<0.05).Conclusion Sputum aspiration by oropharynx airpipe is effective in the aspiration of secretions from respiratory tract and the reduced effect of saturation of blood oxygen.
