Objective To analyze the effect of respiratory training combined with clinical nursing after pneumothorax surgery. Methods Research period: January 2024 to December 2024; Research subjects: 50 cases of postoperative pneumothorax in our hospital were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group of 25 cases each. Routine nursing and respiratory training combined with clinical nursing were carried out separately, and the clinical effects of the two groups were compared. Results Compared with the control group, the observation group had lower levels of exhaust, bed rest activity, length of hospital stay, and VAS scores, P<0.05; The observation group showed higher lung function indicators after nursing, P<0.05; The incidence of complications was lower in the observation group, P<0.05. Conclusion The combination of respiratory training and clinical nursing after pneumothorax surgery can alleviate pain, shorten the recovery time of lung function, and promote patients to be discharged as soon as possible.
