Objective This study aims to explore the practical effects of optimizing the ICU patient position adjustment nursing process under the coexistence of multiple channels, improve nursing quality, and reduce the incidence of complications. Methods 120 patients with multiple tube coexistence admitted to the ICU of a tertiary hospital from January to December 2024 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group. The control group underwent routine posture adjustment nursing procedures, while the observation group adopted optimized nursing procedures based on the control group. The incidence of pressure ulcers, catheter-related complications, nursing satisfaction, and posture adjustment operation time of the two groups of patients were compared. Results The probability of pressure ulcers occurring in the observation group was 3.3%, significantly lower than the 13.3% observed in the control group; The incidence of catheter-related complications was 5.0%, significantly lower than the control groups 15.0%; The nursing satisfaction rate was 96.7%, which was higher than the control groups 83.3%; The average adjustment time for body position was 12.5 ± 2.3 minutes, significantly less than the control groups 18.7 ± 3.1 minutes. Conclusion Optimizing the position adjustment nursing process for ICU patients with multiple tube coexistence can effectively reduce the probability of complications. It has the characteristics of strong operability, evaluability, and repeatability, and can be applied in clinical practice.
