 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 3 Elderly patients with nosocomial pulmonary infection risk factors and countermeasures [Keywords:] Aged; cross-infection; lung; infection; risk factors; Prevention Due to many factors, the elderly become a nosocomial infection in susceptible people has become a consensus [1,2]. Elderly patients with nosocomial pulmonary infection in the first ranking nosocomial infection. Therefore, the concern about the risk factors of nosocomial infection in a timely and effective manner to prevent the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections is particularly important. Relevant information in elderly patients with nosocomial pulmonary infection related factors and preventive measures are summarized below. A hospital in elderly patients with risk factors for pulmonary infection 1.1 in patients with factors Elderly patients with a variety of diseases, decreased immune function, tissues and organs degradation, carrier state increases [2], the elderly population, the rate of pharyngeal G-parasitic bacteria than the average man’s height, in particular, disturbance of consciousness (pulmonary encephalopathy) who, gastrointestinal tension reduce or swallowing abnormality prone to aspiration. Physiological function and immune function in elderly people with age increases the attenuation, diaphragmatic contraction, flexibility, and bronchial alveolar epithelial cilia movement weakened, so that airway clearance dysfunction, as well as bacterial adhesins and epithelial cell receptors to increase the affinity of [3 , 4], together with the lungs directly with the outside world, the air of harmful substances, including viruses, bacteria and physical and chemical factors such as easy-intrusion, particularly disturbance of consciousness, dysphagia, gastro-intestinal tension reduction persons, vulnerable to lung infections occurred, and, in elderly patients with multiple organ involvement, disease resistance decreased, resulting in longer duration, the treatment c
