The pathophysiological characteristics of severe pneumonia complicated by respiratory failure comprise pulmonary parenchymal changes leading to ventilation imbalance, alveolar capillary injury, pulmonary edema, refractory hypoxemia, and reduced lung compliance. Prolonged hypoxia can cause acid-base balance disorder, peripheral circulatory failure, blood-pressure reduction, arrhythmia, and other adverse consequences.To investigate sequential mechanical ventilation's effect on severe pneumonia complicated by respiratory failure.We selected 108 patients with severe pneumonia complicated by respiratory failure who underwent mechanical ventilation between January 2018 and September 2020 at the Luhe Hospital's Intensive Care Unit and divided them into sequential and regular groups according to a randomized trial, with each group comprising 54 patients. The sequential group received invasive and non-invasive sequential mechanical ventilation, whereas the regular group received invasive mechanical ventilation. Blood-gas parameters, hemodynamic parameters, respiratory mechanical parameters, inflammatory factors, and treatment outcomes were compared between the two groups before and after mechanical-ventilation treatment.The arterial oxygen partial pressure and stroke volume variation values of the sequential group at 24, 48, and 72 h of treatment were higher than those of the conventional group (Treating severe pneumonia complicated by respiratory failure with sequential mechanical ventilation is more effective in improving respiratory system compliance, reducing inflammatory response, maintaining hemodynamic stability, and improving patient blood-gas levels; however, from this study's perspective, it cannot reduce patient mortality. |
