Effects of prone position ventilation on oxygenation status and the inci-dence of delirium in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients
Objective To investigate the effects of prone ventilation on oxygenation status and the incidence of delirium in patients with acute res-piratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods A total of 84 ARDS patients treated in Jinhua Central Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January to December 2022 were selected as objects,and they were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method,with 42 cases in each group.The control group was given supine position ventilation,and observation group was given prone position venti-lation,and the intervention lasted for one week.Pulse oximetry saturation(SpO2),arterial partial oxygen pressure of blood oxygen(PaO2),arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),and fraction of inspired oxygen(FiO2)were compared between two groups before and after intervention;and the occurrence of delirium in two groups was observed.Results After intervention,SpO2,PaO2,and PaO2/FiO2 in two groups were higher than before intervention,and those of observation group were higher than those of control group;PaCO2 was lower than before intervention,and that of observation group was lower than that of control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of delirium in ob-servation group was lower than that in control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with supine position ventilation,prone position ventilation can better improve the oxygenation status of ARDS patients and reduce the incidence of delirium,which is worth popularizing.
