摘要: Tracheobronchitis can be broadly defined as inflammation of the airways between larynx and bronchioles. Clinically, this syndrome is recognized by an increase in volume purulence lower respiratory tract secretions frequently associated with signs variable airflow obstruction. In intensive care unit (ICU), tracheobronchitis a relatively common problem incidence high 10.6% [1]. Although significantly longer length ICU stay prolonged need for mechanical ventilation, it has not been shown to mortality. These outcomes improved through use antimicrobial agents
