Objective To explore the nursing effect of modified prone position and traditional prone position in the skin protection of patients with prone position in ICU. Methods A total of 60 ICU patients with prone position treatment were selected in June 2014 to May 2015. According to the digital method the patients were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group with 30 cases in each.The control group adopted traditional way of prone position with the head and chest pad pushed up. used by patients not pad up way of improvement of prone position. The incidence of skin pressure injury and the incidence of stress in the two groups were compared. Results The incidence of skin pressure injury was 20.0%(6/30) in the experimental group and 66.7%(20/30) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=13.30, P < 0.05). Conclusions Modified prone position has obvious advantages in reducing the incidence of skin pressure ulcer and is suitable for patients with clinical prone position.
