The risk factors for the postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage

Abstract

The risk factors for the pulmonary infections after hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the potential risk factors for the postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage undergone surgery from January 2018 to December 2019 were included. Related personal and medical information were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the potential risk factors for the postoperative pulmonary infection. A total of 264 patients were included, and the incidence of pulmonary infection for patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage after surgery was 19.70%. Escherichia coli is the most common bacteria of pulmonary infection. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the preoperative hypoalbuminemia (OR2.89, 1.67∼4.78), tracheotomy (OR5.31, 1.24∼11.79), diabetes (OR4.92, 1.32∼9.80), preoperative GCS (OR5.66, 2.84∼11.21), and the duration of mechanical ventilation (OR2.78, 2.32∼3.61) were the independent risk factors for the pulmonary infection in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (all P < .05). Patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage after surgery have a higher risk of postoperative pulmonary infections, and there are many related risk factors, which should be taken seriously in clinical practice.

Effects of Dexmedetomidine Combined with Intravenous Anesthesia on Oxidative Stress Index, Postoperative Sleep Quality, and Brain Function in HICH Patients

“…Its onset mechanism for patients with chronic hypertension or blood pressure significantly causes brain artery lesions and causes blood vessel burst bleeds. A large number of intracranial hematomas occur in patients [ 1 ]. If the diagnosis and treatment are not made in time, the amount of intracranial hematoma will be further aggravated and the life safety of patients will be seriously affected [ 2 ].…”

Analysis of the Effect of Cluster Nursing in Postoperative Hypertensive Cerebral Hemorrhage

“…This limitation of treatment may lead to a decline in patients' confidence in treatment, irritation, and other negative emotions, thus reducing patients' compliance. It has a negative effect on the overall treatment [ 5 , 6 ]. In the literature, the nursing intervention measures for the prevention of postoperative complications of cerebral hemorrhage are summarized as early monitoring, physical prevention, drug prevention, strengthening management, psychological nursing, and so on, but there is a lack of overall evaluation of patients and no systematic nursing thinking.…”

Analysis of Efficacy and Safety of Modified Transfrontal Puncture Drainage in Hypertensive Basal Ganglia Hemorrhage Patients

“…This also accounts for the high morbidity and mortality rate of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Previous studies have shown that because hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage requires prompt surgical treatment, though the surgical field of conventional craniotomy and craniectomy is clear and can completely evacuate hematoma and promptly lower ICP, the surgery is invasive, has a large volume of blood loss, and patients need a long course of postoperative recovery and have many complications with a poor prognosis ( 12 ). With continuing advances in medical technology, microscopic techniques have been widely used in clinical treatment, and burr hole intracranial hematoma evacuation and minimally invasive burr hole drainage have been promoted clinically.…”
