Abstract

To understand the effect of supine ventilation in clinical nursing. Application method: 15 cases of respiratory failure and ARDS patients in ICU of our department were treated with recumbent ventilation and nursing measures in recent two years. Effect evaluation: after treatment, 12 patients showed significant improvement of symptoms, and 9 patients were successfully transferred to the department for further treatment. Conclusion: supine ventilation can improve the patient's hypoxia symptoms, increase functional residual air volume, improve ventilation blood flow ratio, reduce mediastinal and cardiac pressure on the lungs, and improve the compliance of the thoracic cavity.
