Objective To explore the clinical effect of intensive care nursing intervention on patients with respiratory failure. Methods Sixty patients with respiratory failure admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to July 2023 were randomly divided into a control group (30 cases, routine care) and an observation group (30 cases, with additional intensive care) using computer randomization. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Results After implementing intervention, the arterial blood gas indicators of patients showed that the arterial oxygen partial pressure and pH value of the observation group were better than those of the control group, and the arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure was lower than that of the control group. And respiratory function indicators showed that the observation group had higher lung capacity, tidal volume, and forced expiratory volume than the control group, and lower peak airway pressure than the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in arterial blood gas indicators between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). Conclusion Implementing intensive care nursing for patients with respiratory failure in clinical practice has certain positive significance, can significantly optimize the patients arterial blood gas situation, improve respiratory function, and has practical value.
