summary

Pneumococci and other pathogenic bacteria invade the human blood circulation, and grow or produce toxins in it, causing serious symptoms of lung infection or poisoning. Pyogenic bacteria are the most common. The common characteristics of suppurative inflammation are redness, swelling, heat, pain and dysfunction. The symptom of purulent pneumonia? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Symptoms of suppurative pneumonia

Chest X-ray examination. The diagnosis of most pulmonary infections after burn depends on X-ray examination. Chest film should be taken routinely after injury, and then reexamined regularly. The X-ray manifestations of pneumonia can be divided into three types: small focus, large focus and lobar. Small focus pneumonia is the most common.

4. In order to identify the infection bacteria, the secretion in the airway should be cultured regularly, preferably bronchopulmonary lavage fluid culture, in order to prevent contamination. It is difficult to obtain accurate chest signs in patients with severe burns. Therefore, attention should be paid to carefully check whether there are respiratory changes and rales.

Pay attention to inhalation injury, tracheotomy or intubation, aspiration, pulmonary edema, atelectasis, shock, surgical anesthesia, invasive wound infection, suppurative thrombophlebitis, etc. Pay attention to dyspnea, temperature change, cough, increased sputum volume and sputum characteristics. Clinical symptoms should be differentiated from burn toxemia or sepsis.

matters needing attention

The primary lesion was removed. The patients with inhalation injury or severe burn of face and neck should strengthen airway management, effectively remove airway secretions and necrotic mucosa, and promote airway wound healing. Septicemia should be controlled and distant foci should be removed.
