Abstract:In order to improve the treatment of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to effectively suppress the inflammatory response and enhance blood oxygen indicators, we conducted an innovative bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) treatment
using N-acetylcysteine (NAC). To conduct this study, we divided patients with VAP in severe TBI into a control (CTRL) group and a BAL group. The control group received BAL with saline, while the BAL group received BAL with NAC in… Show more
