Abstract：Objective To explore the effectiveness of implementing Clinical Pathways(CP)in the emergen-cy care of patients with severe chest trauma.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 cases of severe chest trauma treated in our hospital from June 2021 to June 2023.The patients were divided into two groups:the study group(n=50,receiving standard care)and the control group(n=50,receiving care based on Clinical Path-ways).Rescue time,hospitalization duration,costs,complications,mortality rates,and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The study group had significantly shorter rescue and hospitalization times compared to the control group(P＜0.001).The emergency care costs in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.001).The complication rate in the study group was 4.00％,significant-ly lower than that(26.00％)in the control group,with a statistically significantdifference(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in mortality rates between the study and control groups(P＞0.558).Nursing satisfaction in the study group(92.00％)was significantly higher than that in the control group(62.00％)(P＜0.001).Conclusion Implementing Clinical Pathways in the emergency care of severe chest trauma can shorten rescue times,reduce complications and financial burden,and improve nursing satisfaction.
