Abstract
Objective: To observe the effect of breast milk combined with sodium bicar-bonate oral nursing on the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia in neonates. Methods: A total of 85 neonates receiving invasive mechanical venti-lation in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were enrolled, including 42 cases receiving sodium bicarbonate oral care as the control group and 43 cases receiving breast milk combined with sodium bicarbonate oral care as the observation group. The clinical indexes, ventilation-associated pneumonia and oral infection of the two groups were evaluated. Results: Compared with the control group, the clinical indexes of the observation group were better, and the incidence of ventilators associated pneumonia and oral infection was lower, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: Breast milk combined with sodium bicarbonate oral care is effective in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia in neonates, which can improve clinical indexes, reduce the incidence of pneumonia and infection, and has high application value.
