Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the predictive efficacy of global inhomogeneity (GI) index based on pulmonary electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in postoperative pulmonary infection of patients with craniocerebral trauma.Methods:A total of 90 patients with emergency craniocerebral trauma underwent surgery under general anesthesia in Suzhou Science & Technology Town Hospital. According to the complication of pulmonary infection at the 3rd day after operation, they were divided into the pulmonary infection group (P3 group) and non-pulmonary infection group (NP3 group), and according to the complication of pulmonary infection at the 7th day after operation, they were divided into the P7 group and NP7 group. The average GI index within 5 min before anesthesia induction (T 0) and 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T 1) and other clinical data in the perioperative period were collected. The prevalence of pulmonary infection at the 3rd and 7th days after operation was recorded. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative GI index for pulmonary infection at the 3rd and 7th days after operation. Results:A total of 88 patients were included. Among them, 26 patients developed pulmonary infection within 3 days after operation, and the prevalence rate was 29.5%. Pulmonary infection occurred in 38 patients within 7 days after operation, and the prevalence rate was 43.2%. Within 3 days after operation, the preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale score in the P3 group was significantly lower than that in the NP3 group ( P < 0.05). Within 3 days after operation, GI index in the P3 group increased significantly at T 1 when compared with the NP3 group ( P< 0.001). Within 7 days after operation, GI index in the P7 group increased significantly at T 1 when compared with the NP7 group ( P < 0.05). GI index at T1 accurately predicted pulmonary infection within 3 days after operation (AUC = 0.857, P < 0.001), and the best intercept value was ≥0.4225 (sensitivity: 0.846, specificity: 0.823). GI index at T 1 predicted pulmonary infection within 7 days after operation (AUC = 0.667, P < 0.005), and the best intercept value was ≥0.4225 (sensitivity: 0.579, specificity: 0.780), but the prediction efficiency was poor. Conclusions:The average GI index within 5 min after endotracheal intubation can be used as an effective predictor of pulmonary infection within 3 days after operation.
