Abstract

Children with severe pneumonia often have heart failure. This study explored the clinical effect of highquality nursing intervention on children with pneumonia complicated with heart failure. In the study,96 children with pneumonia complicated with heart failure were selected and randomly divided into aconventional nursing group (n=48) and a high quality nursing group (n=48). Based on the conventionalnursing, the children in one group were given high quality nursing, and comprehensive nursing wascarried out in aspects such as respiratory tract, medication, psychology and diet. Then, the heart rate,respiratory rate, heart failure correction time, hospitalization time, cost and nursing satisfaction werecompared between the two groups. The results showed that the heart rate of the high quality nursinggroup was 145.37±8.72 times/min and the respiratory rate was 45.65±6.08 times/min, which weresignificantly lower than those of the conventional nursing group (P<0.05). The correction time of heartfailure was about 32 h in the high quality nursing group, and the length and cost of hospitalization weresignificantly lower than those in the conventional nursing group (P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction of thepatients’ family members in the high quality nursing group was also higher (P<0.05). This study showsthat high quality nursing can promote the recovery of children with pneumonia complicated with heartfailure, and is worth popularizing widely in clinics.a
