Abstract：Objective To study the relative risk factors of post-operative pulmonary infection after cranio-cerebral trauma .Methods Totally 1 121 craniocerebral trauma patients ,who received surgical treatments between Jan.2008 and Oct.2013,were divided into research group and control group depending on the existence of pulmona -ry infection.There were 642 males and 479 females,ranged with an average age of (43.2 ±15.4) years old(age ranged from 19 to 72 years old).The relative risk factors were analyzed .Results There were significant differ-ences in age ,lung underlying disease ,GCS score ,acute lung injury ,duration of coma and bed time between the two groups(P<0.05).However,there was no statistical difference in the gender between the two groups (P>0.05). In addition,the application time of antibiotics ,antacid,dehydrating agent ,and glucocorticoid and the application pro-portion of mechanical ventilation indicated statistical differences in comparison to the control group ( P <0.05 ) . Conclusion There are multi-risk factors relative to post-operative pulmonary infection after traumatic brain injury . Medical staffs should raise awareness so as to reduce these risk factors and to improve the therapeutic efficacy and prognosis .
