Objective To analyze the application of prone ventilation in neonatal mechanical ventilation and its effect on withdrawal. Methods 80 neonates receiving mechanical ventilation in our hospital from June 2023 to December 2024 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The control group was ventilated in the supine position and the observation group was ventilated in the prone position. The two groups of oxygenation index (oxygen partial pressure, oxygenation index), ventilation parameters (airway peak pressure, mean airway pressure), withdrawal time, hospital stay, and the occurrence of complications were compared. Results The oxygen partial pressure and oxygenation index of the observation group were higher than that of the control group, and the airway peak pressure, mean airway pressure, withdrawal time, hospital stay and complication rate were lower than that of the control group (p <0.05). Conclusion The application of prone ventilation in neonatal mechanical ventilation can effectively shorten the withdrawal time and hospital stay, and reduce the incidence of complications, which is worthy of clinical application.
