Xiao Jingyi has drug-resistant bacterial pneumonia, spinal muscular atrophy leads to respiratory muscle weakness, especially during the infection period, he can not effectively maintain blood oxygen saturation, and needs a ventilator to assist breathing. At the same time, Xiao Jingyi can not discharge the secretions in the airway, so after each use of atomization pump, vibrating sputum discharge, position drainage treatment, it is necessary to use a sputum coughing machine and suction sputum through the mouth and nose. Respiratory failure can be alleviated through careful respiratory management plus antimicrobial treatment.
