Objective To explore the interventional effect of fiberoptic bronchoscope-guided sputum suctioning combined with targeted postural drainage in patients developing pulmonary infection after tracheotomy for stroke. Methods A total of 62 stroke patients developing pulmonary infection after tracheotomy for stroke were enrolled and divided into a control group or an observation group by the random number table method, with 31 cases in each group. Both groups received routine treatment and nursing, mechanical vibration-assisted sputum expectoration, and respiratory rehabilitation training (including active cycle of breathing technique, manual assisted coughing, and inspiratory muscle training); on this basis, the observation group was additionally treated with fiberoptic bronchoscope-guided sputum suctioning combined with targeted postural drainage; both groups received an intervention of 14 days. The 24-hour sputum expectoration volume, blood gas analysis indicators (arterial partial pressure of oxygen [PaO2], partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide [PaCO2], and oxygenation index [OI]), inflammatory indicators (white blood cell [WBC] count and C-reactive protein [CRP] level) before and after intervention, the time to disappearance of pulmonary moist rales, and the control rate of pulmonary infection were compared between the two groups, and adverse event incidence during the intervention were recorded. Results A total of 60 patients completed the intervention, with 30 cases in each group. Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in 24-hour sputum expectoration volume, PaO2, PaCO2, OI, WBC count, or CRP level between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 14 days of intervention, the 24-hour sputum expectoration volume increased, PaO2 and OI elevated, while PaCO2, WBC count, and CRP level decreased in both groups as compared with those before intervention (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had higher 24-hour sputum expectoration volume, PaO2, and OI; lower PaCO2 and CRP level; shorter time to disappearance of pulmonary moist rales; and higher control rate of pulmonary infection (all P<0.05). No adverse event related to fiberoptic bronchoscope operation or postural drainage occurred in either group during the intervention. Conclusion Fiberoptic bronchoscope-guided sputum suctioning combined with targeted postural drainage can effectively increase the 24-hour sputum expectoration volume, improve oxygenation function, reduce inflammatory indicators, and elevate the control rate of pulmonary infection in patients developing pulmonary infection after tracheotomy for stroke, with good safety.
