Objective To investigate pulmonary infect flora distribution characteristics of stroke patients with tracheotomy in Intensive care unit (ICU) and analyze the risk factors.Methods A total of 792 cases of ICU stroke patients was selected,including 426 cases of tracheotomy patients,and 366 cases of non-tracheotomy patients.The incidence of lung infections was compared.Bacteriological examination was used for tracheotomy bacteriological studies for lung infected stroke patients with tracheotomy.Bacteria infection's characteristics was observed.The risk factors were analyzed.Results (1) The tracheotomy patient 's lung infection rate was 23.00%,higher than 9.56% of the non-tracheotomy patients,the difference was statistically significant (X2 =19.125,P <0.05);(2) For lung infection-occurred patients with tracheotomy of ICU,gram-negative bacteria infection rate was 63.97%,significantly higher than 19.85% of gram-positive bacteria and 16.18% of fungi,the difference was statistically significant (x2 =18.255,17.042,P < 0.01);(3) Lung infection rate of ICU stroke tracheotomy patients with unconscious,dysphagia,hospitalization time > 14 d,blood glucose levels ≥≥7.8 mmol/L,and based diseases was significantly higher than that of patients with conscious,non-dysphagia,hospitalization time ≤<14 d,blood sugar level <7.8 mmol/L,and no based diseases (P < 0.05);(4) Consciousness,dysphagia,hospitalization,blood sugar levels,and the underlying disease were the independent risk factors of lung infection in ICU stroke tracheotomy patients (OR1 =11.528,OR2 =8.046,OR3 =15.174,OR4 =7.795,ORs =10.784,P <0.05).Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria is the main reason for pulmonary infections in ICU stroke tracheotomypatients patients with stroke.State of consciousness,invasive treatment,hospitalization,blood sugar levels,and the underlying disease are the independent risk factors.

Objective To explore the value of controlled decompression under intracranial pressure monitoring in craniotomy of patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage.Methods One hundred and six patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage,admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to July 2018,were prospectively enrolled.These patients were divided into control group (n=5 l) and treatment group (n=55) according to their families' wishes.The patients in the control group were treated with traditional craniotomy and hematoma removal;the patients in the treatment group were treated with controlled decompression combined with craniotomy and hematoma clearance under intracranial pressure monitoring,and intracranial pressure monitoring and management were carried out after operation.The rate of bone flap acceptance during operation,incidences of complications such as re-bleeding,scalp exudation,intracranial infection and cerebral infarction after operation,rate of re-operation and Glasgow outcome scale scores 6 months after injury were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results Five patients had midway withdrawal (2 from the control group and 3 from the treatment group),and 101 patients (49 from the control group and 52 from the treatment group) were included in the statistical analysis.The rate of bone flap acceptance in the treatment group (69.2%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (24.5%,P<0.05).The incidences of complications such as bleeding,scalp exudation,intracranial infection and cerebral infarction (11.5%,7.7%,3.8%,and 13.5%) were significantly lower than those in the control group (30.6%,22.4%,16.3%,and 34.7%,P<0.05).The re-operation rate (3.8%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (16.3%,P<0.05).Good recovery rate in the treatment group (76.9%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (55.1%,P<0.05).The mortality rate (7.7%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (22.4%,P<0.05).Conclusion For patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage,controlled decompression under intracranial pressure monitoring combined with craniotomy and hematoma removal can significantly improve the rate of bone flap acceptance,reduce the rate of second-stage cranioplasty,reduce the incidence of complications and re-operation rate,and more effectively improve the quality of life and prognosis of patients.

Objective To explore the value of pulse index continuous cardiac output (PICCO) combined with intracranial pressure monitoring in patients with severe craniocerebral injury.Methods One hundred and thirty-eight patients with severe craniocerebral injury accepted controlling decompression surgical treatment in our hospital from February 2015 to February 2019 were prospectively chosen.According to patients' families will,postoperative application of PICCO combined with intracranial pressure monitoring for fluid management was performed in 72 patients (treatment group) and application of central venous pressure combined with intracranial pressure monitoring for fluid management was performed in 66 patients (control group).All patients were adjusted according to the monitoring results.The intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure one week after surgery,incidences of new traumatic cerebral infarction,neurogenic pulmonary edema,pulmonary infection,scalp exudation,and intracranial infection,average hospitalization days,total hospitalization costs,intensity of antimicrobial use,and Glasgow coma scale scores two weeks after operation were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Glasgow outcome scale was used to evaluate the prognoses of the patients 6 months after injury.Results There were 7 patients (3 from the control group and 4 from the treatment group) dropped out of the study due to various reasons and 131 patients (63 from the control group and 68 from the treatment group) included in the final statistical analysis;there was no significant difference in drop-out rate of the two groups (P>0.05).The intracranial pressure in the treatment group ([14.28±2.98] mmHg) was significantly lower than that in the control group ([18.99±2.78] mmHg) and cerebral perfision pressure ([66.72±2.25] mmHg) was significantly higher than that in the control group ([52.96±3.12] mmHg) one week after operation (P<0.05).During hospitalization,the incidences of new traumatic cerebral infarction,neurogenic pulmonary edema,pulmonary infection,scalp exudation and intracranial infection in the treatment group (8.8%,13.2%,11.8%,7.4%,and 2.9%) were significantly lower than those in the control group (22.2%,27.0%,25.4%,19.0%,and 12.7%,P<0.05).The average hospitalization days,total hospitalization expenses and intensity of antimicrobial use in the treatment group were significantly shorter/lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).Glasgow coma scale scores (11.88±1.78) and good recovery rate (76.5%) in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (8.06±1.12,54.0%) two weeks after operation (P<0.05).Good recovery rate (76.5%) in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (54.0%,P<0.05).The mortality rate (5.9%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (17.5%,P<0.05).Conclusion PICCO combined with intracranial pressure monitoring can effectively improve intracranial pressure,optimize cerebral perfusion,reduce complications such as traumatic cerebral infarction,neurogenic pulmonary edema,pulmonary infection and intracranial infection in patients with severe craniocerebral injury,thereby improving prognosis and reducing mortality;besides that,it can reduce patients' exposure to anti-brain infection,and the breadth and intensity of bacterial drugs can reduce the length of hospitalization and total cost of hospitalization,thereby reducing the burden of family and society.
