Abstract

Objective: To explore and analyze the effectiveness of targeted nursing in children with severe viral encephalitis complicated with respiratory failure. Methods: From April 2021 to April 2023, 74 children with severe viral encephalitis complicated with respiratory failure admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of our hospital were selected as the research objects and divided into the target group (n = 37) and the reference group (n = 37). Targeted nursing was given to the target group, while general nursing was given to the reference group. Physical rehabilitation, motor scores, and lung function were compared between the groups. Results: The recovery time of limb abnormalities, convulsions, abnormal consciousness, and cranial nerve disorders in the target group was significantly better than that in the reference group (P < 0.05). The motor function, joint activity and pain, sensory function, and total score of the target group were significantly lower than those of the reference group (P < 0.05). After the intervention, lung function indicators including VC (vital capacity), FVC (forced vital capacity), and MVV (maximum voluntary ventilation) of the target group were better than those of the reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Targeted nursing can shorten the recovery period of severe viral encephalitis complicated with respiratory failure in children, speed up the recovery of motor function, and improve lung function. This nursing model has a significant application effect in children with severe viral encephalitis complicated with respiratory failure.
