Abstract

Introduction: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) causes increased time of mechanical ventilation (MV), prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and a higher mortality risk. The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacies between fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) and general sputum suction for the prevention of VAP in patients with invasive MV.

Methodology: Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were obtained via a search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and CNKI databases. A random-effects model was used to pool the results if significant heterogeneity was observed. Otherwise, a fixed-effects model was used.

Results: Sixteen RCTs were included. Compared to general sputum suction, sputum suction with FOB was associated with a significantly reduced risk of VAP (risk ratio [RR]: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.47 to 0.67, p < 0.001; I2 = 0%). Subgroup analyses showed that the combination of FOB-assisted sputum suction with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) further reduced the risk of VAP as compared to FOB-assisted sputum suction alone (p for subgroup difference = 0.04). In addition, FOB-assisted treatment was also associated with a reduced MV time (mean difference [MD]: -2.19 days, 95% CI: -2.69 to -1.68, p < 0.001; I2 = 18%), a shorter ICU stay (MD: 2.9 days, 95% CI: -3.68 to -2.13, p < 0.001; I2 = 34%), and a reduced mortality risk (RR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.90, p = 0.02; I2 = 0%) in patients with invasive MV.

Conclusions: FOB for sputum suction and BAL in patients with invasive MV is effective in reducing the incidence of VAP.

预防呼吸机相关肺炎的纤维支气管镜检查：随机对照试验荟萃分析。

导言：呼吸机相关性肺炎（VAP）会导致机械通气（MV）时间延长、重症监护室（ICU）住院时间延长以及死亡率升高。本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在比较纤维支气管镜检查（FOB）和普通吸痰对预防侵入性 MV 患者 VAP 的效果：通过搜索 PubMed、Embase、Cochrane Library、万方和 CNKI 数据库，获得相关的随机对照试验（RCT）。如果观察到显著的异质性，则采用随机效应模型对结果进行汇总。否则，采用固定效应模型：结果：共纳入 16 项研究。与普通吸痰相比，使用 FOB 吸痰可显著降低 VAP 风险（风险比 [RR]：0.56，95% CI：0.47 至 0.67，p < 0.001；I2 = 0%）。亚组分析显示，与单独使用 FOB 辅助吸痰法相比，联合使用 FOB 辅助吸痰法和支气管肺泡灌洗（BAL）可进一步降低 VAP 风险（亚组差异 p = 0.04）。此外，FOB 辅助治疗还与 MV 时间缩短（平均差 [MD]: -2.19 天，95% CI: -2.69 to -1.68, p < 0.001; I2 = 18%）、ICU 留观时间缩短（MD: 2.9 天，95% CI：-3.68 至 -2.13，p < 0.001；I2 = 34%），并降低了侵袭性 MV 患者的死亡风险（RR：0.46，95% CI：0.24 至 0.90，p = 0.02；I2 = 0%）：结论：在侵袭性中风患者中使用 FOB 吸痰和 BAL 能有效降低 VAP 的发生率。
