Objective: To explore the application effect of detailed nursing in elderly patients with severe ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Method: Data of 100 elderly patients with severe VAP who received treatment in our hospital from March 2023 to December 2023 were collected. 50 patients (control group) received routine care from March 2023 to June 2023, while 50 patients (observation group) received detailed care from March 2023 to December 2023. Compare the duration of ventilator use, ICU treatment, hospital stay, and inflammatory indicators between two groups of patients. Result: The observation group had significantly shorter ventilator usage time, ICU treatment time, and hospital stay compared to the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); The inflammatory indicators in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The application effect of detailed nursing in elderly patients with severe VAP is significant, which can shorten the time of ventilator use, ICU treatment, and hospitalization, improve pulmonary inflammation, and promote patient recovery. Therefore, this nursing model is worth further promotion and application.
