Abstract
Objective To observe the application effect of plateau prone ventilation combined with lung-protective ventilation care in mechanical ventilation for ICU severe pneumonia.
Methods 50 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to May 2024 for mechanical ventilation treatment of severe pneumonia in ICU in plateau area were selected and grouped into 25 cases each by bicolour method. The control group took prone position ventilation, and the study group combined lung protective ventilation care. Compare the application effect.
Results The blood gas indexes of the study group were better than those of the control group (P < 0.05); the lung function indexes of the study group were better than those of the control group (P < 0.05); the APACHE II scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group, and the time of ICU treatment and the time of mechanical ventilation were shorter than those of the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion For patients with severe pneumonia receiving mechanical ventilation in the ICU, the combined care of prone ventilation and lung-protective ventilation is more effective, and it has a certain promotion effect on the physical recovery of the patients.
