Objective:
To study the application effect of comprehensive nursing combined with early activityactivity in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and its influence on blood gas indexes of patients.
Methods:
100 patients with VAP admitted to our hospital from February 2018 to November 2019 were randomly selected and divided into control group and experimental group, with 50 patients in each group. Patients in the control group received routine nursing intervention with early activity, and patients in the experimental group received comprehensive nursing intervention with early activity. The incidence of adverse reactions, length of hospital stay, blood gas index, nursing efficiency, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.
Results:
Compared with the control group, the incidence of adverse reactions, mental status scale in non-psychiatric settings (MSSNS) score and length of hospital stay in the experimental group were noticeably lower (P<0.05), while the partial arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) and saturation of blood oxygen (SaO2) in the experimental group were higher (P<0.05), and the arterial partial pressure carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in the experimental group was significantly lower (P<0.05). Nursing efficiency in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). Experimental group exhibited higher satisfaction rate compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
Comprehensive nursing intervention combined with early activityactivity can significantly reduce the incidence of adverse reactions and hospital stay, improve the blood gas indicators of patients, and promote nursing efficiency.
