Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the pathogenic characteristics and risk factors of pulmonary infection in patients with craniocerebral injury.

Methods

The clinical data of 89 patients with pulmonary infection after craniocerebral injury admitted to our hospital from November 2016 to October 2019 were included as study subjects (observation group), and 40 patients without pulmonary infection after craniocerebral injury in the same period were collected as a control group. The distribution of pathogenic bacteria in patients with pulmonary infection after craniocerebral injury was analyzed, and single-factor and multi-factor Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors of pulmonary infection in patients with craniocerebral injury.

Results

A total of 120 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in 89 patients with intracranial infection, of which 71 (59.17%) were Gram-positive, including 32 (26.67%) strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 23 (19.16%) strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis; 43 (35.83%) were Gram-negative, including 19 (15.83%) strains of Escherichia coli and 16 (13.33%) strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A total of 112 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in 89 patients with pulmonary infection, of which 34 (30.36%) were Gram-positive, including 22 (19.64%) strains of Staphylococcus aureus; 78 (69.64%) were Gram-negative bacteria, including 36 (32.14%) strains of Acinetobacter baumannii. Single-factor analysis showed that age, open injury, multiple injury, tracheotomy, complications, shock, length of stay, and smoking history differed significantly between the two groups (P<0.05). Age>50 years, multiple injury, tracheotomy, number of complications>2, shock, and hospital stay>15 days were identified to be the independent risk factors for pulmonary infection in patients with intracranial infection (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Gram-negative bacterial infection is the main cause of pulmonary infection in patients with intracranial infection after craniocerebral injury. Many factors are associated with the risk of pulmonary infection in patients with intracranial infection after craniocerebral injury. Therefore, we should take corresponding preventive and therapeutic measures to reduce the probability of pulmonary infection and improve the prognosis.
