ANALYSIS OF THE SITUATION OF USE OF PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS IN THE PREVENTION OF GASTROINTESTINAL ULCERS IN ICU PATIENTS AT CRITICAL CARE DEPARTMENT OF HUU NGHI HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: to describe patient characteristics and suitability in using PPIs to prevent peptic ulcers in patients treated in the ICU. Subjects: medical records of patients treated at the ICU from September 2021 to December 2021. Methods: Retrospective, descriptive. Results: patients in the study group had a much high average age, mostly male, with many comorbidities. Risk factors focused on: mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours (94.8%), infection status 89.6%; 75.7% of patients were treated in ICU for more than a week. The reasonable rate of PPIs at baseline was 57.1% and increased to 85.2% when considering the entire course of treatment. In addition, some irrationalities in the use of PPIs include: overdose (11.4%); route of administration, suitable preparations (41.7%), in which especially suitable preparations for patients taking through a nasogastric tube. Conclusion: It is necessary to improve the assessment and rational use of PPIs in the prevention of peptic ulcers in resuscitated patients.
