Abstract

Objective: To explore the nursing effect of continuous blood purification therapy in the treatment of severe sepsis patients.

Methods: A total of 142 patients with severe sepsis in our hospital were divided into two groups, 70 patients in the experimental group who received an optimize nursing plan, while 72 patients in the control group were given routine nursing intervention. The SF-36 questionnaire, nursing satisfaction and serious adverse events and complications were collected.

Results: The nursing intervention effect of the two groups after intervention were improved before intervention (P<0.05), and the patient's quality of life between the two groups (SF-36 questionnaire) in the experimental group was increased compared to that of the control group after nursing intervention. The nursing satisfaction scores of the experimental group were obviously improved after receiving optimize nursing intervention, and the scores in the experimental group were much higher than in the control group after receiving the intervention, namely (P<0.05). Moreover, the occurrence of serious adverse events and complications in the experimental group was decreased compared to that in the control group, especially the occurrence of acid base imbalance (P<0.05).

Conclusion: The patients with severe sepsis who received continuous blood purification therapy and optimized nursing intervention had shortened ICU hospitalization time, reduced mortality and complication rates, and improved nursing satisfaction and quality of life.
