OBJECTIVE To survey the distribution and diversity of bacteria among COPD patients in our hospital′s comprehensive intensive care unit(ICU).METHODS All 166 strains of bacteria were divided into three groups:from noninvasive positive pressure ventilation,from mechanical ventilation and from standard medical treatment and compared their difference.RESULTS The most common pathogens were Candida albicans(38.8%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(10.2%) and Escherichia coli(8.2%) in the standard medical treatment group;C.albicans(45.5%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(9.1%) and K.pneumoniae(9.1%) in the noninvasive positive pressure ventilation group;however,P.aeruginosa(23.2%),C.albicans(17.9%)and Acinetobacter baumannii(12.6%) in the mechanical ventilation group,respectively.Accompanying with the mechanical ventilation,the resistant-drug rates were observably increased.CONCLUSIONS The percentage of Gram-negative bacilli and fungal infection in the COPD patients of comprehensive ICU is very high.So we should supervise and control the results of antibiotics susceptibility.
