Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effectiveness of diaphragm exercises in mechanical ventilation patients with severe pneumonia.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 166 mechanical ventilation patients with severe pneumonia admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2021 to August 2023 for the study. Seventy-nine patients admitted from May 2021 to June 2022 were set up as control group and 87 patients admitted from July 2022 to August 2023 were set up as experimental group. Patients in control group received routine nursing, and experimental group carried out diaphragm exercise on the basis of control group. Post-intervention recovery, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:In experimental group, the patients' mechanical ventilation time was shorter than that in control group, the withdrawal success rate was higher than that in control group, and the ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and total complication incidences were lower than those in control group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Diaphragm exercise reduces the risk of VAP and promotes recovery in mechanical ventilation patients with severe pneumonia.
