Objective To investigate the clinical application effect of respiratory rehabilitation nursing in the prevention of lung infection in patients with severe head injury and tracheostomy. Methods In this study, 88 patients with severe head injury and tracheostomy who were treated in our hospital were included as study subjects. The study subjects were divided into control group and study group, with 44 cases in each group. Among them, the control group was given routine nursing; The study group used respiratory rehabilitation care. The clinical effects of nursing intervention between the two groups were compared. Results The incidence of lung infections was significantly reduced in patients in the study group compared to the control group. The respiratory rate and arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the oxygen saturation and arterial oxygen partial pressure were significantly higher than those in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of respiratory rehabilitation nursing measures in patients with severe head injury and tracheostomy can effectively reduce the probability of pulmonary infection and play a positive role in improving the relevant indicators of blood gas analysis.
