Nursing Experience in Managing Geriatric Postoperative Breast Cancer-Related Upper Limb Lymphedema Using an Internet-Plus TCM External Therapy Nursing Model: A Case Report
This study implemented a tri-modal integrative nursing protocol integrating herbal fumigation-wash, auricular acupoint pellet pressing, and cloud telemonitoring for managing upper limb lymphedema in a geriatric post-mastectomy patient. The protocol synergized meridian-activating herbal fumigation (improving microcirculation), auricular pellet therapy (regulating channel qi dynamics), and cloud-based closed-loop care through an institutional Internet-Plus platform. This system enabled pre-admission virtual assessment and 7-day post-discharge consolidated monitoring via video consultations. After 14-day in-hospital treatment and 7-day telecare, total arm circumference reduced by 4.55%-15.25%, demonstrating collaborative efficacy in lymphatic recirculation enhancement. The Internet-Plus integrated TCM-Western nursing paradigm transcended spatiotemporal constraints through dual-track "in-hospital + cloud" pathways, establishing an innovative model for chronic symptom management in oncology rehabilitation.
