Objective To investigate the effect of cluster nursing in the prevention of pulmonary infection in patients with tracheotomy in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods 100 patients who received tracheotomy in ICU of our hospital were randomly selected as the study objects. The patients were divided into two groups by random number table method, 50 cases in each group, which were set as observation group and control group respectively. The control group received routine care, while the observation group received cluster care. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results The quality of nursing management and compliance behavior of patients in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group, and the incidence of pulmonary infection was lower than that in the control group, the length of ICU stay and mechanical ventilation time were also shorter than that in the control group, and the final nursing satisfaction was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of cluster nursing in the management of tracheotomy patients in ICU can effectively improve the quality of clinical nursing, improve the physical and mental comfort and cooperation of patients, reduce the incidence of pulmonary infection, and promote the rehabilitation process of patients.
