Nursing Experience of Integrating Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Treatment of a Case of Metabolic Encephalopathy
This article summarizes the nursing experience of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine for a patient with severe metabolic encephalopathy. An individualized nursing plan was formulated based on the core symptoms such as elevated blood ammonia and impaired consciousness. The key points of core nursing included monitoring vital signs, respiratory tract care, nutritional imbalance, anti-infection care, hemofiltration treatment, prevention of potential complications, psychological care, and traditional Chinese medicine-specific care. After active symptomatic treatment and systematic nursing intervention, the patient's consciousness improved, metabolic indicators such as blood ammonia returned to normal, vital signs were stable, and the condition was effectively controlled.
