There is inflammation in the lungs after the surgery of acoustic neuroma, which needs to be treated with antimicrobial drug therapy, supportive therapy, and for complications according to the etiology of lung inflammation and the characteristics of the disease.
1. Antimicrobial drug treatment: common pathogens causing this disease include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, anaerobic bacteria, Legionella, Mycoplasma and Chlamydia, as well as Candida and mycobacteria. Broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and sensitive antibiotic therapy according to sputum culture can be chosen.
2. Supportive therapy: supplement sufficient protein, calories and vitamins. For severe chest pain, a small amount of analgesic can be used. Encourage drinking water 1~2L per day, and those who are dehydrated can be given fluids. Appropriate low-flow oxygen administration. If there is obvious paralytic intestinal obstruction or gastric dilatation, temporary fasting, abstinence from food and drink and gastrointestinal decompression should be performed until intestinal peristalsis is restored.
3. Treatment of complications: After treatment with antimicrobial drugs, high fever often subsides within 24 hours or gradually decreases within a few days. If the temperature drops and rises again or does not drop after 3 days, complications such as sepsis, pericarditis or arthritis should be considered; if the fever persists, other causes should be sought.
