Prone position ventilation combined with high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy in patients with pulmonary infection: a retrospective study on evidence-based nursing practice
Clinical Report: Evaluation of Prone Ventilation and High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy
Overview
This study evaluates the outcomes of prone position ventilation (PPV) combined with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy in patients with pulmonary infections.
Background
Pulmonary infections are a significant cause of acute respiratory failure. Effective respiratory management is essential for recovery, particularly in critically ill patients. The study explores non-invasive strategies like PPV and HFNC.

12.0 ± 2.9
Key Findings
PPV combined with HFNC showed improvements in PaO2/FiO2 ratio and SpO2 over 72 hours compared to conventional therapy.
Nurse-assessed comfort and compliance scores were higher in the observation group.
Total complications were lower in the observation group (9.0% vs. 45.0%).
ICU admission rates were lower in the observation group (5.0% vs. 19.0%).
The length of hospital stay was shorter in the observation group (8.7 ± 2.4 days vs. 12.0 ± 2.9 days).
Clinical Implications
Further research is needed to explore the potential of PPV combined with HFNC in managing pulmonary infections.
Conclusion
PPV combined with HFNC oxygen therapy is associated with certain outcomes compared to conventional oxygen therapy. Further prospective randomized trials are needed to confirm these findings.
