Nursing Experience of Combined Herbal Enema and Acupuncture in Treating a Case of Small Intestinal Obstruction
This paper reports the nursing experience of a postoperative adhesive small intestinal obstruction patient treated with herbal enema combined with acupuncture, who recovered and was discharged after 8 days of treatment. Standardized herbal enema procedures and precise acupoint acupuncture significantly alleviated the patient's intestinal obstruction symptoms. Enhanced dietary care and emotional nursing further highlighted the unique advantages of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing techniques in managing intestinal obstruction.
