Wagonjwa wanaopiga mswaki mara kwa mara wanaonyesha hatari iliyopunguzwa ya nimonia inayotolewa hospitalini na wako katika kiwango cha chini cha vifo vya chumba cha wagonjwa mahututi (ICU), utafiti mpya umebaini.<\/p>\n

Nimonia inayopatikana hospitalini (HAP<\/a>) hutokea wakati bakteria zinazosababisha nimonia kwenye kinywa huingia kwenye njia ya hewa ya mgonjwa na kuambukiza mapafu yake. Wagonjwa ambao hawana dalili za nimonia wakati wa kulazwa hupata hali hiyo ndani ya masaa 48 au zaidi.<\/p>\n

Watu walio na kinga dhaifu huathirika haswa na nimonia inayopatikana hospitalini wakati wa kukaa kwao. Ni maambukizi ya kawaida na ya magonjwa yanayohusiana na huduma ya afya. Takriban mgonjwa mmoja kati ya mia moja hospitalini hupata maambukizi.<\/p>\n

Kulingana na matokeo iliyochapishwa<\/a> katika Mtandao wa Jama, watafiti wanapendekeza wagonjwa wapendekeze mswaki meno yao angalau mara mbili kila siku kama hatua ya kuzuia dhidi ya nimonia inayopatikana hospitalini.<\/p>\n

Timu ya watafiti ilipata kiungo cha kulazimisha kati ya upigaji mswaki wa kila siku na muda uliopunguzwa wa kukaa hospitalini na wakati unaotumika kwenye kipumulio cha mitambo. Athari nzuri inaonekana hasa kwa watu wanaopitia uingizaji hewa wa mitambo.<\/p>\n

"Matokeo haya yanaonyesha kuwa upigaji mswaki kila siku unaweza kuhusishwa na viwango vya chini vya nimonia na vifo vya wagonjwa wanaougua ICU, haswa kati ya wagonjwa wanaopitia uingizaji hewa wa mitambo; mipango na sera za kuhimiza upigaji mswaki kila siku zinafaa,\u201d watafiti waliandika.<\/p>\n

Timu kutathminiwa<\/a> zaidi ya wagonjwa 2,800 kutoka majaribio 15 yaliyodhibitiwa bila mpangilio, ambapo takriban 80% walilazwa kwenye ICU.

Matokeo yalionyesha kwamba matukio ya nimonia iliyopatikana hospitalini yalikuwa ya chini sana, yalipungua kwa karibu theluthi moja, kati ya wale wanaopiga mswaki kila siku.<\/p>\n

"Ishara tunayoiona hapa kuelekea kiwango cha chini cha vifo inashangaza-inapendekeza kwamba upigaji mswaki wa kawaida hospitalini unaweza kuokoa maisha.
