ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a two-step infusion therapy with meropenem against noso-comial multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods 112 elderly patients with nosocomial multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were randomized into two groupstwo-step infusion therapy group ( rapid first-step infusion in 30 minutes and slow second-step infusion in 2.5 hours) and traditional 30 minutes infusion therapy group.The antibiotic clinical efficacy and bacteriological efficacy were observed between two groups .Results The clinical efficacy of observation group and control group were 82.2%(46/56) vs 57.1%(32/56).The difference was statistically significant(χ2 =10.185,P<0.05);The bacteriological efficacy of observation group and control group were 75.0%(42/56) vs 46.4%(26/56),The difference was statistically significant (χ2 =10.265,P<0.05). Conclusion The clinical efficacy and bacteriological efficacy of two-step infusion therapy with meropenem against nosocomial multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmo -nary disease were superior to the traditional therapy .
