Objective To explore the effect of prone position ventilation in patients with severe indwelling artificial airway outside the mind. Methods 80 critical patients with artificial airway in neurosurgery intensive care unit of our hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected. They were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 40 patients in each group. The control group was ventilated in a supine position, while the observation group was ventilated in a prone position for a two-week observation period. Analysis Results Before intervention, there were no significant abnormalities in the blood gas indicators of the two groups of patients (P>0.05); After intervention, compared to the control group, all blood gas indicators of the observation group patients improved significantly (P<0.05); Compared with the control group, the observation group had a significantly higher improvement rate in chest X-ray after using prone position ventilation (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of prone position ventilation method in the treatment of patients with severe indwelling artificial airway outside the mind can achieve satisfactory results. This method can reduce the frequency of sputum aspiration, help improve the patients blood gas analysis index, improve the disease treatment efficiency, have strong safety, reduce the patients economic burden, and improve the satisfaction of patients and their families. It is worth clinical practice application.
