Nursing Practice in Healthcare-Associated Infection Prevention and Control for a Patient with Severe Pneumonia Undergoing ECMO Therapy
This article summarizes the implementation of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention and control measures during ECMO therapy for a patient with severe pneumonia. Throughout the entire continuum of care—including catheter placement assistance, ECMO circuit management, ventilator circuit care, skin integrity maintenance, nutritional support, physiological monitoring, and environmental cleaning/disinfection—nurses rigorously applied HAI prevention protocols while integrating traditional Chinese medicine nursing principles. By exploring and synthesizing critical challenges in HAI prevention for such cases, this practice aims to establish clinical nursing references for reducing infection risks, improving patient prognoses and quality of life, while highlighting the indispensable role of nursing in HAI prevention.
