Objective To explore the effectiveness of evidence-based nursing in reducing postoperative pulmonary infection in patients undergoing endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods The project was studied from October 2022 to August 2023. 82 patients who underwent endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms in our hospital during this period were selected and divided into an average group. A reference group of 41 patients received routine nursing care; 41 patients in the intervention group received evidence-based nursing. Compare the postoperative pulmonary atelectasis and liver infection between the two groups of patients. Results The probability of postoperative pulmonary infection in the intervention group was 2.44%, which was significantly lower than the 19.51% in the reference group (P<0.05). The excellent and good rate of sputum excretion in the intervention group was 95.12%, compared to 82.93% in the reference group (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of evidence-based nursing in patients undergoing endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm can significantly reduce the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary infection and facilitate the effective discharge of sputum, which has high promotion and application value.
