Effects of nursing intervention on lung infection prevention in patients with tracheotomy
1Department of Nursing Care.
Background:
This study will evaluate the effects of nursing intervention (NIV) on lung infection prevention (LIP) in patients with tracheotomy.
Methods:
The electronic databases of MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure will be retrieved from inception to the June 1, 2019 for randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of NIV on LIP in patients with tracheotomy without any language limitations. In addition, we will also search grey literature to avoid missing any potential studies. Two independent authors will perform study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias evaluation.
Results:
This study will investigate the effects of NIV on LIP in patients with tracheotomy. The primary outcome is incidence of lung infection. The secondary outcomes include pulmonary function, quality of life, and complications post-surgery.
Conclusion:
The results of this study will summarize recent evidence for the effects of NIV on LIP in patients with tracheotomy.No ethic approval is needed in this study, because it will not need any individual data. The results of this study will be published at a peer-reviewed journal.
