Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine if there is a difference in nosocomial pneumonia frequency rate in mechanically ventilated trauma patients treated with sucralfate vs. ranitidine for stress ulcer prophylaxis. DESIGN:Prospective, randomized trial. SETTING:A 640-bed urban teaching hospital and trauma center. PATIENTS:Ninety-two mechanically ventilated trauma patients. INTERVENTIONS:Thirty-nine patients received sucralfate and 44 patients received intravenous ranitidine for stress ulcer prophylaxis; nine patients were excluded from the study for protocol breaks. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:The study population was severely injured and critically ill. The Trauma Score averaged 11.3, the Injury Severity Score averaged 27.7, and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) score averaged 18.1. There were no significant differences in demographics, mechanisms of injury, Trauma Score, Injury Severity Score, APACHE score, length of hospital stay, length of surgical intensive care unit stay, or duration of endotracheal intubation between the sucralfate and ranitidine groups. Eleven (13.2%) patients developed nosocomial pneumonia: six (15.4%) of 39 patients in the sucralfate group and five (11.4%) of 44 patients in the ranitidine group; these numbers were not significantly different (chi 2 = 0.0226, p = .8805). There were no episodes of significant upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Six patients died during hospitalization, all secondary to severe head injury and none with pneumonia. CONCLUSIONS:There was no statistically significant difference in pneumonia rate in mechanically ventilated trauma patients receiving stress ulcer prophylaxis with sucralfate vs. ranitidine.
