Abstract: (2279 Views)
Background and purpose: Ventilator-induced pneumonia is the most common nosocomial infection in intensive care unit patients. The aim of this study was to compare the common ventilator-associated pneumonia in two groups of children and adults in the intensive care unit of Bahonar Hospital in Kerman in 2019.
Materials and methods: The records of 146 patients in both pediatric and adult groups in the intensive care unit with ventilator-associated pneumonia were reviewed cross-sectional. Broncho alveolar lavage samples were taken from the patients and examined for the presence of operating bacteria.
Results: The mean age of patients in children and adults was 11.2±5.5 and 53.8±19.3 years, respectively. The mean duration of ventilation in children and adults was 12.2±8.14 and 17.7±15.3 days, respectively. The mean time interval between ventilation and infection was not statistically significant between the two groups (P = 0.1). The mean length of hospital stay was 27.5±20.5 in the pediatric group and 40.7±23.4 days in the adult group (p=0.00). Acinetobacter (40%) was the most common disease in both age groups. Most patients in both children and adults were recovered and discharged.
Conclusion: According to similar crimes in the age group, in case of clinical and laboratory symptoms of VAP, a similar antibiotic treatment can be selected.
