ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the effect of bronchoscopy for sputum suction on aspiration pneumonia in elderly patients. Methods 45 elderly patients with aspiration pneumonia treated with bronchoscopy for early sputum suction on the basis of comprehensive treatment were assigned into group A ,and another 44 elderly patients with the same disease receiving the only comprehensive treatment as the control group (group B). After treatment,the two groups were compared in terms of temperature,WBC,arterial blood partial pressure of oxygen and lung shadow resolution. The key links in the operative manipulation were summarized. Results In group A, the temperature and WBC both resumed to the normal level, the time for increased arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) in group A was significantly shorter than in group B and lung shadow resolution significantly more evident than in group B (P < 0.01). In group A, the sputum suction was completed and there were no cases of death and serious complications. Conclusions Early bronchoscopy for sputum suction in the treatment of aspiration pneumonia in elderly people is effective. Skilled operation and accurate grasping of the key points of the suction process make sure that this technology can be more applicable in clinical practice.
