Effect of digestive tract nursing intervention on the ventilator associated pneumonia of patients with cerebral trauma

Objective To investigate the effects of digestive tract nursing intervention on the Ventilator associated pneumonia of patients with cerebral trauma .Methods All the patients of cerebral trauma in ICU were divided into control and experiment groups , control group was adopted routine nursing , experiment group was adopted ventilator bundle and digestive tract nursing intervention on the basis of routine nursing .Then, compared the time of ventilation , the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia （ VAP ） and the mortality between two groups .Results After the intervention , the time of ventilation [ （ 212 ±38 ） vs （ 146 ±25 ） , t=5.731, P＆lt;0.05）], the incidence of VAP （26.76% vs 12.50%,χ2 =3.910,P＆lt;0.05） and the mortality （39.44%vs 21.43%,χ2 =4.705, P＆lt;0.05） in experiment group were significantly lower than that in control group （P＆lt;0.05）.Conclusions Based on the common strategy , digestive tract nursing intervention could decrease the time of ventilation , the incidence of VAP and the mortality ,which deserved to be promotion .
