Objective To explore the clinical effect of bundled care on patients with oral tracheal intubation in NICU during mechanical ventilation and before and after programmed weaning. Methods The research period was from February 2024 to February 2025. A total of 80 patients with oral tracheal intubation in NICU who received mechanical ventilation treatment were selected as samples. They were randomly divided into the control group and the study group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received conventional care, while the study group received bundled care. Clinical indicators and weaning status were compared. Results There were significant differences in clinical conditions between the groups. The mechanical ventilation time (5.11 ± 0.89) days and hospital stay (10.06 ± 1.23) days in the study group were shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in weaning status between the groups. The weaning success rate (97.50%), the incidence of unplanned extubation (5.00%), and the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (0.00%) in the study group were lower than those in the control group (82.50%, 20.00%, and 15.00%, respectively) (P < 0.05). Conclusion Bundled care has a good effect on patients with oral tracheal intubation in NICU during mechanical ventilation and before and after programmed weaning. It not only shortens the treatment cycle but also improves the weaning success rate and is worthy of promotion.
