Research on the value of goal-directed strategy-based refined airway care in mechanical ventilation for patients with severe pneumonia
Objective To explore the application value of goal-directed strategy-based refined airway care in patients with severe pneumonia undergoing mechanical ventilation.Methods A total of 99 patients with severe pneumonia undergoing mechanical ventilation admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases and Intensive Care Unit(ICU)of this hospital from January 2022 to August 2023 were selected.Based on the admission time,the first 49 patients admitted were assigned to the control group,and the subsequent 50 pa-tients were assigned to the observation group.The control group received routine care,while the observation group received goal-directed strategy-based refined airway care.The interventions in both groups were com-pared and analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,patients in the observation group had lower airway resistance,peak airway pressure,and respiratory pressure after intervention;shorter durations of me-chanical ventilation,ICU treatment,and hospital stay;fewer airway-related complications;higher scores in all dimensions of quality of life and satisfaction after intervention,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion Goal-directed strategy-based refined airway care for patients with severe pneumonia under-going mechanical ventilation can improve lung function,accelerate recovery,reduce the incidence of airway-re-lated complications,and enhance patients'quality of life and nursing satisfaction.
