Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing for a Diabetic Patient with Gangrene (Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis Syndrome)
This article summarizes the integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine nursing approach for a diabetic patient with gangrene (Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome). Through comprehensive nursing assessment and TCM syndrome differentiation, the following key interventions were implemented: (1) Western medicine measures (lower limb arteriography for vascular evaluation, dynamic blood glucose monitoring, and anti-infection wound care); (2) TCM therapies (herbal fumigation and washing to promote blood circulation and remove stasis, and moxibustion to warm meridians and dispel cold); (3) Integrated nursing strategies (dietary regulation, emotional regulation, and pain management). After systematic intervention, the patient showed significant improvement in ischemic symptoms such as lower limb pain and decreased skin temperature, along with accelerated healing of foot ulcers. This case demonstrates the synergistic value of TCM-Western medicine collaboration in managing diabetic gangrene and provides a replicable clinical nursing pathway.
