Abstract: Objective To analyze the key points of artificial airway care and its preventive effects on complications in mechanically ventilated patients with respiratory failure. Methods A total of 72 respiratory failure patients admitted to the hospital between February 2024 and February 2025 were selected and randomly divided into two groups according to different nursing approaches: 36 patients in the control group received conventional mechanical ventilation care, while 36 patients in the study group received evidence-based airway care intervention. The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), airway secretions drainage,24-hour balloon pressure compliance rate, and adverse nursing events were compared between the two groups. Results The study group showed significantly lower VAP incidence than the control group (P <0.05). At day 1 post-extubation, there was minimal difference in airway secretions drainage between the groups (P> 0.05). By days 3 and 5 post-extubation, significant differences emerged, with the study group demonstrating markedly higher airway secretions drainage rates (P <0.001). The 24-hour balloon pressure compliance rate reached 94.44% in the study group, significantly higher than the control group's 77.78% (P <0.05). The study group also reported 5.56% adverse nursing events, lower than the control group's 22.22% (P <0.05). Conclusion Implementing evidence-based airway care in mechanically ventilated patients with respiratory failure can reduce VAP incidence, enhance secretions clearance, improve balloon pressure, and minimize adverse nursing events.
