A Nursing Case Report of Auricular Acupressure Combined with Acupoint Application for Treating Pulmonary Aspergillosis with Cough and Expectoration
This study details the diagnosis and treatment of a 65-year-old male patient with pulmonary aspergillosis. The patient was admitted with recurrent cough, expectoration, and wheezing, complicated by multiple underlying conditions. An integrated Chinese and Western medical approach was adopted: Western interventions included antifungal therapy, expectorants, bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, and rehabilitation, while Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) involved syndrome differentiation-based herbal prescriptions, auricular acupressure, and acupoint application. The nursing process encompassed comprehensive assessment, accurate diagnosis, meticulous planning, proactive implementation, and outcome evaluation. The patient’s clinical symptoms significantly improved, with favorable therapeutic results and stable follow-up post-discharge. This case highlights the value of integrated Chinese-Western therapy and nursing in managing pulmonary aspergillosis, offering practical insights for clinical practice.
