China Pharmacy 2015;(20):2777-2779
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the risk factors,pathogens and drug sensitivity test of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in ICU. METHODS:A case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 190 patients receiving mechanical ventilatory support in ICU. RESULTS:The incidence of VAP in our hospital was 48.4%;elderly patients(>65 years),duration of mechanical ventilation(>5 d),use of corticosteroids,antacid drugs,indwelling stomach tube,and combined use of antibiotics were the risk factors of VAP;among the 162 pathogens,39 were Gram-positive bacteria(24.07%),102 were Gram-negative bacte-ria (62.96%),21 were fungi (12.96%);multi-drug resistance existed in most pathogens. CONCLUSIONS:A variety of factors are closely associated with the incidence of VAP;the main pathogens of VAP are Gram-negative bacteria;the phenomenon of multi-drug resistance is common. Some measures are adopted to decrease the incidence of VAP,such as strengthen monitoring of el-derly patients,to improve their immunity;use hormonal drugs reasonably;shorten the course of mechanical ventilation as much as possible,and plan ventilator removal;elevate the head of the bed and clean the oral for patients receiving gastric canal implantation and enteral nutrition;clean hands in accordance with asepsis principle strictly,and use antibacterials reasonalbly.

Objective To study the influence of high dose atorvastatin (80 mg/d) in early heart rate variability and malignant ventricular arrhythmia in patients underwent emergency coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 350 pa-tients underwent emergency PCI were randomly divided into two groups:high dose atorvastatin group and regular dose atorv-astatin group. And 85 cases of control were enrolled randomly. The patients using high dose atorvastatin group received atorv-astatin 80 mg orally STAT upon hospitalization and 40 mg once a day from the second day. The patients using regular dose atorvastatin group received atorvastatin 40 mg orally STAT after hospitalization and 20 mg once a day from the second day. Patients were monitored by continuous dynamic electrocardiogram for 24 hours after PCI. According to the results of dynamic electrocardiogram, the early heart rate variability (HRV) and rate of malignant ventricular arrhythmia (MVA) were measured and compared between three groups. Results The values of standard deviation of all normal sinus RR intervals over 24 h (SDNN) were(108.3 ± 21.5)ms and(70.6 ± 17.6)ms for high dose atorvastatin group and regular dose atorvastatin group re-spectively. The values of SDNN measured every 5 minutes during 24 hours (SDANN) were (111.7 ± 19.2)ms and (65.9 ± 18.5)ms respectively, and values of root-mean-square of successive normal sinus RR interval difference (RMSSD) were (25.6±8.3)ms and(18.7±10.2)ms respectively, and the percentage of adjacent RR intervals that differed by more than 50 ms (PNN50) were(14.7±5.9)%and(6.9±3.4)%for high dose atorvastatin group and regular dose atorvastatin group respec-tively. The above data were significantly lower than those in control group [ (122.5±23.8) ms and (119.6±15.2) ms, (29.2±9.3) ms and (17.7±6.5)%, P<0.05]. There were significantly higher values in high dose atorvastatin group than those in regular dose atorvastatin group (P<0.05). The incidence rate of MVA was much higher in high dose atorvastatin group and regular dose atorvastatin group than that in normal control group (12.00%vs 21.14%vs 2.35%). The incidence rate of MVA was sig-nificantly lower in high dose atorvastatin group than that in regular dose atorvastatin group (χ2=5.29, P<0.05). Conclu-sion The HRV was significantly reduced and the incidence rate of MVA was much higher in patients with early AMI. High-dose atorvastatin can increase the HRV and decrease the incidence rate of MVA in patients underwent emergency PCI.
