 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Antibiotics in elderly patients with respiratory tract infection in the rational application of Of: Judgments and Quantitative Jiao Haiyan Xu Yan Liu Jinmei With age, the elderly showed an increasing trend in respiratory disease, the elderly as physical decline, aging and other physiological characteristics of the respiratory tract, respiratory tract infections than other age group. In recent years, with the observation of clinical departments and the antibiotic was treatment of senile infectious diseases, and access to the literature, causes respiratory infections in elderly, medication and other features discussed below. 1. Old respiratory tract infection drug classification and characteristics 1.1 hospital infections such elderly patients in the original chronic respiratory or cardiovascular diseases such as chronic bronchitis, obstructive emphysema, pulmonary heart disease, coronary heart disease on the basis of disease, cold cold often pay for their causes. The elderly because of decline of respiratory physiology, airway epithelial cells cilia dysfunction, especially in smokers, the role of the mucosal surface and the elimination of the role of adhesion weakened their response to respiratory infection than young sensitive, and because the elderly have Sui of, in the early stages of disease often do not seek medical attention. so there are a considerable number of elderly people to the hospital, doctors can ask the patients themselves, “treatment” history. in the application of antibiotic treatment, the hospital should be possible to do conditional sputum culture and drug sensitivity to guide clinical drug trials, do bacteriology at least 24-48 hours to the results, but before the pathogen was informed, it should be treated in a timely manner. So the results of sputum culture and sensitivity test before did not return, according to the elderly common pathogens of respiratory tract infection use of antibiotics. general h
