Objective To clarify the effectiveness of continuous nasal feeding with nutrient pumps in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, with the aim of promoting the development of nursing research in the intensive care unit. Methods A total of 99 critically ill patients treated in the intensive care unit from November 2023 to mid November 2024 were included in the study. After random numbering, each patient was randomly assigned to two groups: a control group with 47 cases and an observation group with 52 cases. The control group received divided nasal feeding intervention with a syringe, while the observation group received continuous nasal feeding intervention with a nutrition pump. The effects of different interventions (complications, nutritional status) were compared and analyzed. The proportion of total complications in the observation group was lower, and the nutritional status indicators in the observation group were higher, with a P-value of<0.05, indicating a significant statistical difference. Conclusion Continuous nasal feeding with nutrient pumps in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit can help reduce the risk of related complications and promote the restoration of normal nutritional status.
