Objective To explore the application effect of bundled nursing in the care of elderly patients with severe pneumonia. Methods 64 elderly patients with severe pneumonia admitted to our hospital from January to December 2022 were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 32 cases in each group. The control group received routine care, while the experimental group received bundled care. Compare the mechanical ventilation time, hospital stay, incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, and nursing satisfaction between two groups of patients. Results The mechanical ventilation time and hospitalization time of the experimental group were significantly shorter than those of the control group (P<0.05). After nursing, the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and nursing satisfaction in the experimental group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Bundle care can significantly improve the nursing effectiveness of elderly patients with severe pneumonia, shorten mechanical ventilation and hospitalization time, reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated diseases, and improve the prognosis and recovery effect.
