Nursing Experience of a Patient with Diabetic Ketoacidosis Coma Complicated by Respiratory Failure and Endotracheal Intubation
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) coma complicated by respiratory failure requiring endotracheal intubation. The patient developed critical symptoms due to insulin discontinuation and irregular diet, accompanied by severe metabolic disturbances (blood glucose >41.6 mmol/L) and type II respiratory failure, necessitating emergency endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Through precise Western medical interventions such as fluid resuscitation and insulin pump therapy, combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) techniques like vibration expectoration and acupoint application, successful extubation was achieved within 48 hours. The study highlights the synergistic effects of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in correcting blood volume, improving respiratory function, and implementing psychological interventions, offering differentiated nursing strategies for critical care management.
