Clinical Study Of Acute Cerebral Infarction Complicated With Pulmonary Infection

Subject:In order to prevent and control the occurrence of pulmonary infection effectively, we investigate the evoking mechanisms and influencing factors in patients with acute cerebral infarction complicated with pulmonary infection.Methods:We investigate the epidemiological information, history of past illness, seriousness degree of diseases, treatment and prognosis of 1100 acute cerebral infarction cases in our department from January, 2007 to February,2009, including 188 cases complicated with pulmonary infection. Then we analysis the relationship between pulmonary infection rate and gender, age, smoking and drinking histories, basic chronic diseases and illness degree, infarction degree, state of consciousness, swallowing function, invasive operation, preventive anti-infection therapy, prognosis of the patients.Results:The pulmonary infection rate increased obviously in patient who is male, aged, associated with stroke and lung diseases, accepting invasive operation and has severe illness, coma, swallowing dysphagia. Smoking and drinking histories, preventive anti-infection therapy and acute cerebral infarction lung infections had no significant relationship. Patients with cerebral infarction complicated pulmonary infections have obviously higher fatality than patients without lung infection.Conclusion:Preventing and controlling pulmonary infection can effectively improve the treatment and prognosis of acute cerebral infarction.
