The invention discloses a breathing machine moving device for thoracic surgery nursing, and relates to the technical field of medical nursing. The problems that the height of an existing breathing machine is inconvenient to adjust, use requirements in different environments are not met, the existing breathing machine needs to be pushed manually during moving, labor is wasted, and hands of medicalstaff are not liberated for other operations are solved. According to the scheme, the breathing machine moving device comprises a placement plate, two supporting plates are fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate, racks are welded to the sides, close to each other, of the two supporting plates, limiting plates are slidably connected to the sides, away from each other, of the two supporting plates, support plates are welded to the tops of the limiting plates, a breathing machine body is arranged at the tops of the support plates, and fixing columns are welded to the bottoms of the support plates. The height of the breathing machine is conveniently adjusted, thus, the breathing machine can be used in different environments, automatic power movement can be achieved, manual pushingis not needed, labor is saved, convenience is achieved, and other operations of medical staff can be facilitated.
