The cause and countermeasure of postoperative lung infections in elderly inguinal hernia

Objective To analyze the causes of postoperative lung infections in elderly patients with inguinal strangulated hernia and put forward to-be-on-guard measure and treatment. Methods The data of 106 patients who were older than 60 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results Amongst these 29 cases who were treated with tension-free hernioplasty, postoperative lung infections occurred in one of them. Amongst these77 cases who were treated with traditional hernioplasty, postoperative lung infections occurred in 13 of them. Patients with tension-free hernioplasty had a significantly lower morbidity rate than those with traditional hernioplasty(P< 0.01). Conclusions The most dangerous factors for postoperative lung infections in elderly inguinal hernia included chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema, smoking, traditional operative procedure. Tension-free hernioplasty, respiratory tract nursing care and perioperative management are effective for preventing postoperative lung infections in elderly inguinal hernia.
