Abstract:ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors and nursing strategies of pulmonary infection in elderly patients after cardiac intervention.MethodsA total of 329 elderly patients were enrolled in our hospital from January 2014 to October 2016 and were divided into infection group(n=22)and non infection group(n=307)according to whether the patients had pulmonary infection after cardiac intervention.The clinical data were retrospective analyzed and logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of pulmonary infection.ResultsThere were 22 cases of pulmonary infection in 329 patients,the infection rate was 6.69%.There were significant differences in smoking,pulmonary function classification,mental status,time of bed movement and intake of antibiotics after operation between the infection group and non infection group group(P<0.05),whereas there was no significant difference in age,gender,body weight,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,operation mode and cardiac function grade in two grops(P>0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking,pulmonary function classification,mental state,postoperative time of bed movement were the main influencing factors of pulmonary infection after cardiac intervention(P<0.05).ConclusionLong-term smoking,poor lung function,depression and anxiety and long-term bed rest are related to pulmonary infection,and corresponding nursing measures should be taken to reduce the risk of pulmonary infection in elderly patients after cardiac intervention.
