Objective To investigate the effect of constant small amount of continuous airway humidification and closed suction method to prevent sputum formation of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Methods 115 cases with acute respiratory distress syndrome were randomly divided into the observation group (60 cases)and the control group (55 cases).The observation group was given small amount of constant continuous airway humidification and closed suction method.The control group was given open suction and intermittent airway humidification.The treatment effect was compared between the two groups. Results 24 h after intubation,difference of sputum viscosity between the two groups was not significant.72 h and 120 h after intubation,sputum viscosity of the control group was significantly higher than the observation group.In the sputum formation,24 h,72 b and 120 h after intubation,the control group was significantly higher than the observation group.At the end of suction,and 1 min,3 min,5 min after the suction,the oxygen saturation degree of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group.Whatever in the process of humidification or suction,the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,the difference was obvious. Conclusions Combination of constant small amount of continuous airway humidification and closed suction method can effectively reduce the sputum formation of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To study the effects of High frequency two -way jet ventilation on the function respiratory and circulation of patients with Trachea and Carinal reconstruction.Methods Fifty patients with lung cancer,who were scheduled for elective trachea and carinal reconstruction,were intubated with double lumen tube following anesthesia induction and general anesthesia.High frequency ventilation was used on the healthful main bronchus during carinal reconstruction,a Hunsaker tube was inserted 3cm into the healthful main bronchus.HFTJV was applied with the respiratory rate of 120 /min,the ratio of inspiration and expiration E =1:1 and drive pressure of 0.2 -0.25Mpa.Blood gas analysis was made before the anesthesia,15 min following one -lung ventilation,10,20, 30 min following HFTJV and 15min following one -lung ventilation,respectively and monitor MAP,HR,SpO2 , PetCO2 .Results PaO2 in high frequency ventilation increased significantly compared with preoperative (78.0 ± 10.5)mmHg,was respectively (161.4 ±10.2)mmHg,(156.0 ±15.7)mmHg,(153.0 ±15.1)mmHg (P <0.01);PaO2 in high frequency ventilation 30min was (153.0 ±15.1)mmHg (P <0.05).It was lower than single lung venti-lation (front 165.50 ±11.3mmHg)and higher than 100mmHg equally;PaCO2 in the high frequency ventilation was slightly increased compared with OLV 30min (front),and the difference was not statistically significant (P >0.05).
