Nursing Care of a Patient with Odontogenic Orbital Cellulitis
This article reports the nursing experience of a rare case of odontogenic orbital cellulitis after tooth extraction. The patient was a 70-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital due to right eye redness, swelling, and increased pain after tooth extraction. He was diagnosed with right orbital cellulitis and eyelid abscess. The key points of nursing included management of eyelid abscess drainage, control of oral infection, dynamic warning of cavernous sinus thrombosis, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine pain intervention (acupuncture at acupoints and foot bath with Chinese medicine), and individualized emotional care. Through systematic nursing measures, the patient's pain score (NRS) decreased from 4 points to 0 points, sleep quality (PSQI) improved from 17 points to 10 points, right eye vision recovered to 0.5, and no serious complications occurred. This case provides practical reference for the clinical management of rare odontogenic orbital cellulitis through multidisciplinary collaboration and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine nursing, highlighting the importance of early intervention and individualized care.
