目的 监测重症医学科（ICU）呼吸机相关性肺炎（VAP）的发病率，探讨实施干预组合措施对VAP发病率的影响。 方法 对2011年6月1日－2012年5月31日ICU使用呼吸机患者478例为监测对象并按时间先后分为两组，对照组按规范方法进行干预，试验组在规范干预基础上再采取组合干预措施，包括：每日评估患者、用一次性呼吸机螺纹管、用床角量角标识抬高床头、床尾设置黄色警示线、调查手卫生依从性等，统计分析两组VAP发病率。 结果 共监测ICU患者5 937个住院日，使用呼吸机1 510个机械通气日，呼吸机使用率25.43%，发生VAP 60例，VAP发病率为39.74例/1 000机械通气日，其中对照组发生VAP 21例，使用呼吸机343个机械通气日，VAP发病率为61.22例/1 000机械通气日；试验组发生VAP 39例，使用呼吸机1 167个机械通气日，VAP发病率为33.42例/1 000机械通气日，两组发病率差异有统计学意义（χ2=12.702，P=0.000）。 结论 实施干预组合措施可使VAP发病率显著下降，但仍高于国内外大型医院，基层医院还需不断努力控制好VAP的发病率。
Objective To analyze the clinical and etiological characteristics and bacterial susceptibility in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in Guangzhou area.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on VAP patients in four hospital of Guangzhou from Jan 2004 to Oct 2005.Totally 157 patients were enrolled in this study，whose flora was identified and tested by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test.The univariate analysis method was used to analyze the prognostic parameters.Results The average onset time of VAP was 7.7 days after mechanical ventilation with a mortality rate of 38.2%.The proportion of Gram-negative bacilli，Gram-positive cocci and eumycete was 68.0%，23.4% and 8.7% respectively in 184 isolated strains.The most common pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18.5%)，Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (14.1％)，Burkholderia cepacia (10.9%)，Staphylococcus aureus (10.3%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (8.7%).Pseudomonas aeruginosa，Stenotrophomonas maltophilia，and Acinetobacter baumannii were resistant to most common antibacterials such as cephalosporin and imipenem.18 strains oxacillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus，7 strains oxacillin resistant Staphylococcus simulans and one vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus were isolated.Expect for vancomycin，teicoplanin and fusidic acid，the resistance of Gram-positive cocci were above 50% to other 9 antibacterials.Conclusions The antibiotic resistance situation of VAP in Guangzhou is very serious with high mortality.It is important to reinforce the prevention and guidance on the proper treatment of VAP.
Objective To analyze the risk factors for ventilator-associated pneumonia( VAP) in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB) . Methods A total of 127 consecutive adult patients who received postoperative ventilation for more than 48 hours between January 2002 and June 2008 in the cardiac surgical intensive care unit( CSICU) were included in this study. The patients were assigned into a VAPgroup( n =64) and a control group( n = 63) . Pre-, intra-, and postoperative factors were collected and analyzed between two groups, and the multivariate analysis( logistic regression)were used to identify the risk factors of VAP. Results The overall incidence of VAP was 5.1%. The mortality of VAP was 28. 1% . Compared to the control group, the patients in the VAP group had longer duration of cardiopulmonary bypass time, ventilation time, more blood products usage and the duration of stay in CSICU( P lt; 0. 001) , higher morbidity of low cardiac output syndrome and tracheotomy( P lt; 0. 01) and higher rate of aortic surgery and mortality( P lt; 0. 05) . The preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) and postoperative oxygenation index( PaO2 /FiO2 ) were lower in the VAP group than those of the control group( P lt; 0. 001) . Five variables were found to be significantly related to the development of VAP by multivariate analysis: CPB time gt; 120 min( OR = 6. 352, P = 0. 000) ; PaO2 /FiO2 lt; 300 mm Hg( OR =3. 642, P = 0. 017) , transfusion of blood products ≥1500 mL( OR = 5. 083, P = 0. 039) , ventilation time≥5 days( OR = 9. 074, P = 0. 047) and tracheotomy( OR = 19. 899, P = 0. 021) . A total of 102 pathogens were obtained by sputum culture in 64 VAP patients. There were 62( 60. 8% ) cases of gram negative bacilli, 19 cases( 18. 6% ) of gram positive cocci and 21( 20. 6% ) cases of eumycetes. Conclusion This study shows that the cardiopulmonary bypass time, ventilation time, hypoxemia, blood products transfusion and tracheotomy are risk factors most likely associated with VAP development.
为预防应激性溃疡和消化道出血, 质子泵抑制剂( PPI) 、组胺H2 受体拮抗剂( H2 RA) 以及硫糖铝在ICU中的应用非常普遍。既往的研究认为以PPI 或H2RA 为代表的抑酸剂( ASD) 可致胃液pH 值增高, 为细菌在胃腔内定植创造了条件, 并进而增加医院获得性肺炎( HAP) , 尤其是呼吸机相关性肺炎( VAP) 发生的风险。我们通过文献复习发现,ASD 与VAP 的关联性迄今仍无明确的证据, 已有的临床研究结论互为矛盾; 另一方面, 既往研究多集中于硫糖铝与H2RA 的比较, 有关PPI 和H2RA 导致VAP 的风险比较研究仍然缺乏, PPI 是否比H2 RA 更易发生VAP 也缺乏研究可资证明。为此我们将有关内容综述如下, 以供同道参考。
呼吸机相关性肺炎( VAP) 是指患者接受机械通气治疗48 h 后至停用机械通气、拔除人工气道后48 h 内发生的肺实质的感染性炎症。为接受机械通气患者最常见的院内感染。VAP的发生率和病死率由于诊断手段不同, 报道不一。国外报道, VAP 发生率为9% ～70% [ 1] , 病死率高达20% ～71% [ 2, 3] ; 国内医院调查, VAP发生率为48. 5% , 病死率为37. 5% [ 4] 。患者一旦发生VAP, 易造成撤机困难, 并可导致患者在ICU的停留时间及住院时间延长, 增加相关的医疗费用, 严重者可导致患者死亡。因此, VAP的早期预防、早期诊断和治疗就显得非常重要, 本文就近年来VAP 的诊治现状做一概述, 以供同道参考。
Objective To explore the efficacy of continuous lateral rotation therapy ( CLRT) for the prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia ( VAP) . Methods Database of Medline and SinoMed were searched. Randomized and controlled trials assessing the efficacy of CLRT vs. placebo or conventional treatment for the prevention of VAP were included. Data were extracted on study population, exclusion and inclusion criteria, diagnostic criteria of VAP, incidence of VAP, ICU mortality, ICU length of stay, andduration of mechanical ventilation. The VAP incidence and mortality were extracted as dichotomous variables and the other parameters were extracted as continuous variables. The pooled analyses of VAP incidence and mortality were performed by using Review Manager 5. 0 software. The heterogeneity was analyzed by thestatistic I2 . Results A total of 5 clinical trials met the inclusion criteria. CLRT could reduce the incidence of VAP ( OR=0. 50,95% CI 0. 32-0. 78) , and the heterogeneity was not statistically significant. The impact of CLRT on the ICU mortality was insignificant. The ICU length of stay and duration of mechanical ventilationwere not significantly different between CLRT and control groups. Conclusion CLRT is beneficial for the prevention of VAP, whereas its impacts on other clinical outcomes such as the ICU mortality, ICU length of stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation require further investigations.
Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of self-made washable endotracheal tube for subglottic secretion drainage. Methods Ordinary endotracheal tube and sputum aspirating tubes were used to make washable endotracheal tube for subglottic secretion drainage in our hospital. The self-made tubes were compared with washable endotracheal tube available on the market. The suction resistance, the cases of obstruction in the tubes, the average daily drainage, and the cases of infection of incisional wound were compared between the two kinds of tubes, and their safety was evaluated. Results After three days of application, the suction resistance of endotracheal tube available on the market increased, with six cases of the blockage of the lumen ( 85% ) , while that of self-made endotracheal tube did not change, with no cases of blockage ( 0% ) . There was significant difference between these two kinds of tubes ( P lt;0. 01) . The average daily drainage in the former was ( 16. 55 ±8. 66) mL/d; while that in the latter was ( 40. 12 ±25. 48) mL/d. There was no significant statistical difference between the two kinds of tubes ( P gt;0. 05) . The incidence ofinfection of incisional wound in the ordinary endotracheal tube was 50% ( 5 cases) ; that in the tubes available on the market was 28% ( 2 cases) ; that in the self-made tubes was 15% ( 2 cases) . There was significant difference among the three groups. When tube cuffs were inflated, the distance between the back edge of suction tubes and tube cuffs was was 2-4 mm. Conclusion Self-made washable endotracheal tubes are effective for subglottic secretion drainage with good safety and low price.

The risk factors for VAP in RICU were the duration of intubation, hypotension after intubation, cerebrovascular disease, and hypoalbuminemia.
Objective To study the advantages of heat and moisture exchangers compared with heated humidifiers in reducing the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia ( VAP) . Methods We searched PubMed as well as reference lists from publications to collect randomized controlled trials which comparing heat and moisture exchangers with heated humidifiers in preventing VAP for mechanically ventilated patients. Meta-analysis was performed using software Review Manager 5. 0. Results Fifteen randomized controlled trials were included. There was no difference in incidence of VAP among the patients managed with moisture exchangers or heated humidifiers ( OR1. 18, 95% CI [ 0. 96, 1. 44] ) . The subgroup of patients using moisture exchangers had lower VAP incidence compared with those using heated humidifiers without heated wire circuits ( OR 1. 39, 95% CI [ 1. 08, 1. 79] ) . There were no differences between the compared groups in mortality, length of intensive care unit stay, or duration of mechanical ventilation. Conclusion The available evidence indicates that moisture exchangers are superior to heated humidifiers without heated wire circuits, and not to heated humidifiers with heated wire circuits to prevent VAP.
