Analysis and prevention countermeasures of ICU patients with deep fungal infection

Objective To analyze risk factors of intensive care unit (ICU) patients with deep fungal infection,and to explore the preventive countermeasures. Methods Data of 60 patients with deep fungal infection in ICU was selected from our hospital medical record room database. The fungal types and distribution,risk factors,clinical manifestation and application of antibacterial drug were investigated and analyzed. Results In the 60 patients,the candida albican was the main species in deep fungal infection of ICU (41. 67%) ; fungal infection occurred in 82 cases,and respiratory system infection was the most common with a total of 28 cases (accounted for 34. 15%) ; risk factors included the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics (79. 23%) ,indwelling catheter after 15d treatment(73. 33%) ,central venous catheterization after 7d treatment(71. 39%) , indwelling drainage tube after operation (71. 39%) ,accepting mechanical ventilation after 7d treatment(70. 00%) ,penicillin, as the main antibiotic medicine,was used before infection(68. 32%) . Conclusion It has a higher incidence of deep fungal infection in ICU,therefore,we should try to reduce and avoid possible risk factors causing infection and take effective measures to prevent.
