Application of Refined Nursing Care During Prone Position Ventilation in a Patient with Severe Pneumonia
This article presents the nursing experience of refined traditional Chinese and Western medicine integrated care applied to a 61-year-old elderly patient with severe pneumonia complicated by type 2 diabetes mellitus and electrolyte imbalance. On the basis of conventional treatment, awake prone position ventilation was administered, in combination with comprehensive refined nursing measures including airway management, postural safety care, skin protection, catheter maintenance, gastrointestinal management, traditional Chinese medicine interventions, psychological support, and rehabilitation guidance. The results demonstrated that this nursing protocol significantly improved the patient's respiratory function, facilitated sputum drainage, and enhanced treatment safety and comfort, thereby meriting broader clinical application.
