Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing intervention on sputum excretion and pulmonary infection of patients after thoracic surgery. Methods 282 patients receiving thoracic surgery from February 2020 to February 2022 in our hospital were randomly assigned to the control group (141 patients, applying conventional nursing intervention) and the study group (141 patients, applying comprehensive nursing intervention) after receiving surgical treatment. The pulmonary infection and sputum excretion effect of patients after nursing were compared and analyzed. Results The effective sputum excretion rate of the patients in the study group receiving comprehensive nursing intervention was significantly higher than that of the control group; There were fewer pulmonary complications in the study group than in the control group; The time of each operation related index in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group, and the operation effect was better. The above results were significantly different, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive nursing intervention for patients after thoracic surgery has achieved remarkable results, which not only shortens the indwelling time of drainage tube and hospitalization time, but also has positive significance in reducing pulmonary infection and improving the effect of sputum excretion.
