Objective To analyze the clinical effect of bronchoscopy suction and lavage on patients with pulmonary infection in respiratory intensive care unit. Methods A total of 92 patients with pulmonary infection in the respiratory Intensive Care Unit of our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected and divided into two groups by blind dividing method. 46 patients who received conventional treatment were in the control group, and 46 patients who received bronchoscopic sputum aspiration and lavage on the basis of conventional treatment were in the observation group. The effective rate, duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of antibiotic use and length of ICU stay were compared between the two groups. Results The effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the duration of mechanical ventilation, antibiotic use time and ICU stay were shorter than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions On the basis of routine treatment, bronchoscopic sputum aspiration and lavage can significantly improve the treatment effect, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and antibiotic use, and then reduce the length of ICU stay.
