Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing Experience in a Case of Constrictive Pericarditis
This article systematically summarizes the nursing experience of a patient with constrictive pericarditis treated through an integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine approach. In addition to conventional Western medical therapy, innovative TCM techniques—including auricular acupressure with seed embedding, moxibustion therapy, and acupoint application—were employed as adjunctive treatments. These interventions were combined with comprehensive nursing measures such as refined dietary management, perioperative care, personalized symptom intervention, psychological counseling, and systematic health education. The integrated approach significantly alleviated the patient's negative emotional state, enhanced clinical efficacy, and improved quality of life. Through standardized treatment and nursing, the patient achieved stable condition, successfully underwent surgery, and was eventually discharged with full recovery. This case demonstrates that the integrated TCM-Western nursing model exerts synergistic effects in perioperative management of constrictive pericarditis, warranting broader clinical application.
