Abstract:
This paper introduces the airway care of a patient with motor neuron disease treated with mechanical ventilation for eight years. The airway care for the patient focused on individualized suctioning,measures to prevent atelectasis such as lung hyperinflation,adjustments of ventilator parameters,regular weaning exercise,as well as measures to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia such as prevention of aspiration,strict disinfection and isolation,wound care of tracheotomy. The ventilator-associated pneumonia was effectively prevented. Effective nursing care for patients with long-term mechanical ventilation can prevent atelectasis and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
