| Objective Evaluation of the Prevention of respiratory complications for patients under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation by continuously infusing air into pharyngeal.Methods A total of 71 elective operation patients accorded with inclusion criteria who underwent general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation in the hospital between February and July in 2016 were enrolled in the study and randomized into experimental group(group A)and control group(group B),which contained 35 patients in group A and 36 patients in group B.Patients in group A were placed a disposable oxygen tube after endotracheal intubation and then continuously infusedair into pharyngeal;patients in group B were placed a disposable oxygen tube after endotracheal intubation without next infusingair into pharyngeal.Incidence of emergence halitosis,throat discomfort and expectoration was analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results 1.The general observation indexes such as age,gender,surgical procedure and indwelling endotracheal tube time had no statistical difference in the two groups of patients before treatment(P>0.05).2.The severity of complicationsabouthalitosis,throat discomfort and expectoration of the twogroups of patients was ranked into(-)(+)(+ +)three levels.There was a significantlylesser severity of complications about halitosis,throat discomfort and expectoration in group A than in group B(P<0.05).3.The incidence of complications about halitosis,throat discomfort and expectoration in group A was 17.1%,25.7%,37.1%,and 55.6%,66.7%,63.9% in group B,respectively.The incidence of every complication was significantly lower in group A than in group B(P<0.05).Conclusion Continuous air infusion into pharyngeal could play an important role in protecting the respiratory tract of patients under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation,and then reducing the incidence of respiratory tract complications,which is worthy of clinical promotion in view of its effectiveness and easy operation. |
