Objective To explore the application effect of emergency intensive nursing in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the cardiovascular intensive care unit (CCU), providing a basis for optimizing clinical nursing protocols. Methods A total of 80 AMI patients admitted to the CCU of a certain hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using a random number table, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received routine CCU nursing care, while the experimental group was managed with an emergency intensive nursing model. The complication rates, hospital stays, nursing satisfaction scores, and myocardial function recovery indicators were compared between the two groups. Results The complication rate in the experimental group was 5.0% (2/40), significantly lower than that in the control group (25.0% [10/40]), with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The hospital stay in the experimental group was (7.1 ± 1.4) days, shorter than that in the control group (10.5 ± 2.2) days, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The nursing satisfaction score in the experimental group (93.2 ± 3.5) was higher than that in the control group (79.1 ± 5.3), with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01). The time to peak troponin decline and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) recovery in the experimental group were superior to those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Implementing emergency intensive nursing for AMI patients in the cardiovascular CCU can effectively reduce the risk of complications, shorten hospital stays, improve patient satisfaction, and promote myocardial function recovery, demonstrating significant clinical value.
