Clinical impact of bronchoscopy combined with targeted nursing of oxygen nebulization inhalation in pediatric mycoplasma lobar pneumonia

This study explored the clinical impact of bronchoscopy plus targeted nursing of oxygen nebulization inhalation on pediatric mycoplasma lobar pneumonia. Eighty children with mycoplasma lobar pneumonia admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were recruited as study participants. They were divided into a control group and an observation group. The control group received routine treatment and targeted nursing with oxygen nebulization inhalation. The observation group received bronchoscopy in addition to routine treatment and targeted nursing. The results showed that that relative to the control group, the observation group had higher total effectiveness rate, shorter fever clearance time, cough disappearance time, and lung shadow absorption time, lower interlukin-6 and procalcitonin levels and higher total satisfaction rate after treatment. We conclude that bronchoscopy plus targeted nursing of oxygen nebulization inhalation can effectively improve efficacy of pediatric lobar pneumonia, enhance pulmonary function, elevate serum interlukin-6 and procalcitonin levels, and improve nursing satisfaction.
