The Effects of Early Tracheotomy on the Prevention and Treatment of Pulmonary Infection for Patients with Severe Craniocerebral Injury

Objective To analyze the effects of early tracheotomy on the prevention and treatment of pulmonary infection for patients with severe craniocerebral injury,and provide reference for the clinical work.Methods From January 2010 to December 2011 in Baoding First Hospital,112 cases of severe craniocerebral injury were divided into two groups in accordance with the time of tracheostomy,all patients were treated with conventional therapy,for 52 cases of the control group,tracheotomy was performed ≥ 24 h after injury,for 60 cases of the observation group,tracheotomy was performed24 h after injury,the pulmonary infection and its control situation of the two groups were compared.Results The pulmonary infection incidence and mortality rate of the observation group were significantly lower than the control group with significant differences(P0.05).The cure rate of pulmonary infection and infection control time of the observation group were significantly better than the control group with significant differences(P0.05).Conclusion Early tracheotomy can significantly reduce the pulmonary infection incidence of patients with severe craniocerebral injury,and can effectively improve the lung infection condition,which is one of the first choices of the treatments in the clinical.
