Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effect of special nursing group for critically ill patients on the quality of nursing care and prog-nosis of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) complicated with respiratory failure. Methods:62 patients with COPD complicated with respiratory failure were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group (31 cases in each group). The patients in the control group were given routine nursing care and the patients in the observation group were given nursing care by the spe-cial nursing group,the nursing quality and prognosis of the patients were compared between the two groups. Results:The PaCO2 ,PaO2 , SaO2 and pH value were higher in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0. 05);the incidence of complications was low-er in the observation group than the control group (P<0. 05);the length of stay in ICU,mechanical ventilation time and average hospitali-zation days were shorter in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0. 05);the scores of satisfaction were higher in the observation group than the control group (P<0. 05);compared with the control group,the total score of basic nursing care,document man-agement,specific nursing care, ward environment and safety, emergency items and equipment, disinfection, health education and nursing quality significantly increased in the observation group (P<0. 05). Conclusion:The special nursing group for critically ill patients can ef-fectively improve the quality of nursing care for patients with COPD complicated with respiratory failure and promote the prognosis of the patients.
