This article describes the nursing experience of a middle-aged woman who was sent to the intensive care unit due to severe complicated influenza. The nursing period was from June 8 to June 19, 2017. Gordon's 11 Functional Health Patterns Assessment was used. The identified nursing problems were gas exchange dysfunction, potentially dangerous skin problems such as impaired skin integrity, and caregiver anxiety. Through the cooperation of the intensive care team, using prone ventilation to improve oxygenation. During the treatment, we provided appropriate nursing care, avoiding complications caused by prone ventilation and relieving the anxiety of family members. With a suitable training plan implemented, the patient was successfully ventilator weaned and transferred out of the intensive care unit. A prone ventilation checklist is suggested to improve the integrity of the measures and preparations. A prone treatment leaflet is made available to reduce the anxiety of family members. We hope this article will provide a complete care experience to help patients through the acute phase and reduce comorbidities potentially caused by severe complicated influenza and prone ventilation.
