Objective To evaluate the efficacy of multidisciplinary team (MDT) nursing model in critically ill septic shock patients and provide evidence for optimizing clinical nursing protocols. Methods A total of 60 critically ill septic shock patients admitted to our hospital from May 2024 to May 2025 were randomly assigned to an experimental group (30 cases) or a control group (30 cases) using a randomized number table method. The control group received standard intensive care unit (ICU) nursing, while the experimental group underwent MDT nursing with a collaborative team comprising ICU, infectious disease, respiratory, nutrition, pharmacy, and rehabilitation departments. Clinical outcomes, complication rates, and nursing satisfaction were compared between groups. Results The experimental group showed significantly shorter shock resolution time (18.2±4.5) hours and ICU stay duration (7.3±2.1) days (P<0.05) compared to the control group (26.8±5.3) hours and (11.5±2.8) days, respectively. The experimental group also demonstrated shorter blood lactate clearance time (24.6±6.2) hours and mechanical ventilation duration (5.1±1.6) days (P<0.05). The complication rate in the experimental group was 13.3% (4/30), significantly lower than the control group's 40.0% (12/30) (P<0.05). Nursing satisfaction reached 96.7% (29/30) in the experimental group, markedly higher than the control group's 73.3% (22/30) (P<0.05). Conclusion The multidisciplinary collaborative nursing model can effectively shorten the time of shock correction and hospitalization period of patients with severe septic shock, reduce the risk of complications, improve nursing satisfaction, and is worthy of clinical application.
