A systematic evaIuation on ventiIator-associated compIications and their risk factors in neonates in China
Abstract：Objective:To systematically evaluate ventilator-associated complications and the influencing factors in order to provide ba-sis for formulating scientific management strategies.Methods:China biomedical literature database(CBM),China national knowledge infra-structure(CNKI),VIP,Wanfang database,Pubmed and Embase database were systematically retrieved,the quality and the data were eval-uated and analyzed by using NOS and qualitative and Meta-analysis.Results:The Meta-analysis showed that the constituent ratio of death cases was higher in those whose body weight was less than 1.5 kg than those more than 1.5 kg(P<0.05);the constituent ratio of the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP),intracranial hemorrhage,sepsis,pulmonary hemorrhage and pneumothorax was higher in premature infants than that of full-term infants(P<0.05).Conclusion:The ventilator-associated complications in neonates are complex and diverse,and VAP,sepsis,pulmonary hemorrhage,pneumothorax and intracranial hemorrhage are the key monitoring indica-tors.The gestational age,low birth weight and duration of ventilation are the main risk factors of ventilator-associated complications.
