Effect of High-Quality Nursing Care on Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Complicated with Respiratory Failure: An Observational Cohort Study

Abstract

Background. To investigate the efficacy of high-quality nursing care on patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) complicated with respiratory failure. Methods. A total of 84 AECOPD patients were included in this study. Lung function indexes, nursing satisfaction, and arterial blood gas index were collected to assess the efficacy of high-quality nursing care on patients with acute chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with respiratory failure. Results. The level of lung function after treatment had a statistical difference between the two groups ( $P<0.05$ ). On other hand, the nursing satisfaction is improved in the observation group. The PaCO2 and PaO2 level was improved after treatment; there was statistical significance ( $P<0.05$ ). Conclusion. High-quality nursing intervention has good therapeutic effect on acute exacerbation of COPD complicated with respiratory failure.
