Nursing Experience of a Patient with Lower Limb Erysipelas and Hypertension and Coronary Heart Disease of Large Body Weight
Erysipelas is an acute inflammatory disease caused by infection with hemolytic streptococcus, mainly affecting the skin and its reticular lymphatic system, presenting with local redness, swelling, pain and systemic fever. The high incidence of obesity and chronic diseases makes nursing management more challenging. Due to venous return obstruction, damaged skin barrier and limited activity, complications are more likely to occur. This case study analyzes the nursing process of a patient with lower limb erysipelas combined with hypertension and coronary heart disease of large body weight, and explores the application value of characteristic nursing and systematic nursing intervention. During the nursing process, gradient elevation of the affected limb and alternate turning were adopted, and progressive activity management ensured the safety of activity recovery. Systematic nursing intervention effectively controlled the infection and improved patient compliance. At the same time, it helped the patient optimize their lifestyle and achieved positive results in weight management, diet control and smoking cessation. The case indicates that the combination of characteristic nursing and systematic nursing intervention can effectively improve the rehabilitation effect of patients with erysipelas complicated with chronic diseases, providing an important reference for clinical nursing.
