Objective To analyze the application effect of evidence-based nursing combined with respiratory humidification management in adult patients with severe pneumonia. Methods A total of 64 adult patients with severe pneumonia admitted to our hospital from September 2022 to August 2025 were selected and randomly divided into two groups (32 cases each). The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received routine nursing care combined with evidence-based nursing and respiratory humidification management. The treatment indicators and complications of the two groups were compared. Results After intervention, the observation group showed higher arterial blood oxygen partial pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and forced vital capacity than the control group, while the clinical pulmonary infection score was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The complication rate in the observation group (3.13%) was lower than that in the control group (21.88%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion Evidence-based nursing combined with respiratory humidification management can improve lung function in adult patients with severe pneumonia, reduce infection severity, and lower the risk of complications, providing a scientific basis for clinical nursing.
