Objective To explore the role of implementing palliative care combined with emergency nursing in patients with severe traumatic respiratory distress. Methods 62 patients with severe trauma and respiratory distress admitted to our hospital from May 2022 to September 2023 were randomly divided into a control group (31 cases, routine emergency care) and an observation group (31 cases, emergency care+palliative care) according to the odd even method. Compare the nursing effects of two groups. Results The emergency rescue indicators (emergency department stay, examination time, rescue time) and improvement time of respiratory distress symptoms in the observation group were earlier than those in the control group. APACHE II, ASDS score, and incidence of complications were lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Implementing palliative care combined with emergency nursing intervention for patients with severe trauma and respiratory distress can improve emergency rescue efficiency, improve symptoms, conditions, and acute stress levels, and prevent the risk of complications.
