In order to identify the incidence of nosocomial pulmonary infection in surgical critical care patients in our hospital, we studied 800 patients discharged from surgical intensive care unit between May 1992 to Dec. 1994. One hundred and six episodes of pulmonary infection were found in 96 cases, in which 20 cases had been re-infected. The infection rate was 12.0%. The age of patients, APACHE- Ⅱ score and duration in ICU were closely related to the incidence of pulmonary infection. Tracheal intubation, tracheotomy and mechanical ventilation were the predisposing factors. The prevalent pathogens were pseudomonas aeruginosa, acinetobacter, staphylococcus aureus and candida albicans. 54.7% of cases were infected with more than one pathogens, and 36.8% of cases had fungal infection. The prevention and treatment are also discussed.
