Nursing Experience in Treating a Patient with Intracranial Infection Accompanied by Abdominal Distension Based on the Midnight-Noon Ebb-Flow Theory
This article summarizes the nursing experience of treating a patient with intracranial infection accompanied by abdominal distension based on the Midnight-Noon Ebb-Flow theory. Guided by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment, the approach integrated the concept of "harmony between humans and nature" from the Midnight-Noon Ebb-Flow theory. By applying TCM nursing techniques such as ginger-partitioned moxibustion, acupoint massage, and acupoint application, the patient's gastrointestinal function was regulated, intestinal peristalsis was enhanced, and abdominal distension was effectively alleviated, thereby improving the patient's quality of life.
