Abstract

This study explores the effect of a modified prone ventilation strategy combined with pharmacological treatment on respiratory mechanics and hemodynamics in individuals with severe pneumonia. The study included 70 patients with severe pneumonia admitted between 2021 and 2023, they were randomly divided into a conventional treatment group and a combined treatment group. The conventional treatment group received standard antibiotic therapy supplemented by a routine prone ventilation strategy, while the combined treatment group received additional antiviral drugs and a modified prone ventilation strategy. Clinical indicators, blood gas analysis, respiratory mechanics, and hemodynamic parameters were compared between the two groups. The results showed that the combined treatment group demonstrated a more significant improvement in oxygenation and a reduction in complications (p<0.05), indicating that the optimization of prone ventilation strategy combined with pharmacological treatment has a significant therapeutic effect on individuals with severe pneumonia.
