Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of sedation and analgesia nursing interventions in mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU. Methods From January 2024 to January 2025,534 mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the ICU of our hospital were selected as research subjects. Using a digital numbering method, these patients were divided into two groups: odd-numbered patients were assigned to the control group and received standard sedation and analgesia care, while even-numbered patients were assigned to the study group and received personalized sedation and analgesia care. The Ramsay Sedation Scale scores, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay, delirium incidence, and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results The study group showed significantly better outcomes in all indicators compared to the control group, with P<0.05. Conclusion Personalized sedation and analgesia nursing interventions can significantly improve sedation outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU, effectively shorten mechanical ventilation time and hospital stay, and reduce the risk of complications, demonstrating high clinical value and warranting promotion.
