Clinical analysis on 40 cases of hospital acquired pneumonia in ICU
Objective:To investigate the hospital acquired pneumoma in ICU
including its morbidity rate
mortality rate
including factors
and pathogenic distribution and its drug resistance.Methods:A clinical retrospective analysis was carried out to investigate 40 cases of patients acquiring pneumonia in EICU.Results:Twenty-three of 40 cases (57.5%)died.Factors significantly predisposing hospital acquired pneumonia were tracheal intubations or tracheotomy(35%).Pathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa (35%) and Acinetobacter baumannii (20%) were found in most of 40 cases.And the analysis of drug sensitivity showed resistance among all the agents tested in different levels
also the multidrug resistance emerged.Conclusion:Mortality rate of HAP is found high in ICU.The leading causative microorganisms are Gram-negative bacteria
and drug-resistant bacteria.Antibiotics should be appropriately selected.
