Abstract

To summarize the nursing experience of a severely obese patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) after severe trauma. Key interventions addressed multiple challenges,including severe pain,refractory hypoxemia,contraindications to prone positioning,malnutrition,and infection risks. The phased sedation-analgesia,extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) support with stepwise lateral positioning,localized intermittent pressure offloading,intra-abdominal pressure-directed enteral nutrition,and digitalized infection control were adopted. Through multidisciplinary collaborative treatment and technological innovation,the patient was transferred to rehabilitation hospital successfully after 49 days of individualized care,and 5-month follow-up showed good recovery.
