Objective To study the application value of intensive respiratory care in patients with cerebral infarction and pulmonary infection. Methods 80 patients with cerebral infarction from January 2024 to January 2025 were selected as the research subjects, and 1-80 were generated by computer random number software, including the control group (n=40), the control group, the observation group (n=40), and the combined intensive respiratory nursing. Observe and compare the incidence of pulmonary infection, complications, and treatment (ICU stay time, mechanical ventilation time, total hospital stay) between the two groups. Results The incidence of pulmonary infection in the observation group was 0.00%, lower than 12.00% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=5.143, P=0.023). The complication rate in the observation group was 2.50%, which was lower than the 17.50% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=5.000, P=0.025). In the control group, ICU stay time, mechanical ventilation time and total hospital stay in the observation group were shorter than the control group, statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion Intensive respiratory care combined with comprehensive care can further reduce the incidence of pulmonary infection and complications in patients with cerebral infarction in ICU, and shorten the ICU stay time, mechanical ventilation time and total hospital stay.
