A Case Report on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing for Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy
This article reports the successful treatment of a patient with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy complicated by cerebral edema and bacterial pneumonia following cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A multidisciplinary team implemented comprehensive management, focusing on the following interventions: consciousness awakening and cerebral hypoxia-ischemia improvement therapy, including stepwise intracranial pressure reduction with medications; refined nursing protocols encompassing artificial airway management, enteral nutrition support, early bedside rehabilitation training, and emotional intervention; Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment, diagnosed as ischemic stroke (phlegm-stasis obstructing collaterals pattern) through four diagnostic methods, with herbal therapy to resolve phlegm and remove stasis. After integrated TCM-Western medicine intervention, the patient achieved effective intracranial pressure control, gradual recovery of respiratory function leading to successful ventilator weaning, and stabilized condition. This case provides a referential clinical pathway for the comprehensive treatment of critically ill patients.
