Objective To analyze the application effect of optimized management of sedation and analgesia in prone ventilation for critically ill patients on patient comfort and treatment compliance. Methods Sixty two critically ill patients with prone ventilation in our hospital from January 2024 to January 2025 were included. They were randomly divided into a control group (conventional nursing) and an observation group (optimized management with sedation and analgesia), with 31 patients in each group. The changes in comfort and treatment compliance before and after intervention were compared. Results There was no statistically significant difference in comfort scores between the two groups of patients before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the comfort scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); Comparing the treatment compliance of the two groups, the total compliance rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The optimized management intervention of sedation and analgesia during prone ventilation in critically ill patients in clinical practice can significantly improve patient comfort and treatment compliance.
