Objective Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) refers to infectious pneumonia that occurs in the lung parenchyma after 48 hours of mechanical ventilation treatment (or within 48 hours of mechanical ventilation removal). This article explores the preventive effect of implementing "cluster" treatment measures on VAP in patients receiving mechanical ventilation assisted treatment. Methods The 106 subjects of this study were all patients who received mechanical ventilation assisted treatment from February 2022 to February 2023. The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and satisfaction scores with treatment and nursing were compared between the two groups of patients after implementing different treatment and nursing measures. Results The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in the study group was 1.89%, and the nursing satisfaction score was (92.51 ± 1.22) points, which was significantly better than the 9.43% and (84.93 ± 2.19) points in the control group. P<0.05 indicates the existence of comparative significance. Conclusion The implementation of "clustering" treatment measures for patients with assisted ventilation is of great significance for the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia. It not only effectively improves patient satisfaction with nursing, but also significantly reduces the incidence of VAP, which can promote early recovery of patients. This indicates that the treatment and nursing plan is scientific and effective, and should be actively promoted and applied in clinical practice.
