The effects of specialized emergency and intensive nursing team on arterial blood gas and pulmonary function in pulmonary infection with respiratory failure.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate effects of specialized emergency and intensive nursing team on arterial blood gas and pulmonary function in pulmonary infected patients with respiratory failure. METHODS: 126 patients with pulmonary infection and respiratory failure admitted to our hospital were chosen and randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 63 cases in each group. The control-group received specialized routine nursing care, and the observation-group was treated with the emergency and intensive nursing care. Subsequently, the arterial blood gas, pulmonary function, inflammatory biomarkers, complication rate, recovery course and nursing satisfaction between the two groups were compared accordingly. RESULTS: ). CONCLUSIONS: For pulmonary infection and respiratory failure, the nursing intervention carried by the specialized emergency and intensive nursing team can remarkably improve the arterial blood gas and pulmonary function, reduce the patients' inflammatory indicators and incidence of complications. The application of the nursing team can reduce the time on ventilator and length of hospital stay, and improve patients' satisfaction with nursing care.
