Abstract:【Objective】 To observe effect of bronchoalveolar lavage under bronchofibroscope on severe pulmonary infection complicated with pulmonary atelectasis. 【Methods】 A total of 117 cases with severe pulmonary infection complicated with pulmonary atelectasis were randomly divided into two groups: observation group with 59 cases and control group with 58 cases. All patients were treated by antibiotics and expectorant.Besides, patients in observation group were treated by sputum aspiration and bronchoalveolar lavage under bronchofibroscope; while patients in control group were treated by routine sputum aspiration. 【Results】 The time of fever, coughing time, the recovering time of WBC and X-ray,rales disappeared of patients in treatment group were shorter than control group (P<0.05), the change of blood oxygen partial pressure in treatment group was better than control group(P<0.05); the total effective ratio of treatment group was 86.44%, and the control group was 67.24%, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Bronchoalveolar lavage under bronchofibroscope can improve respiratory tract symptoms and ventilation function. It can increase cure rate and is effective treatment for pulmonary infection complicated with pulmonary atelectasis.
