Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Treatment of Bronchiectasis with Infection: A Nursing Case Study
This case report describes an 88-year-old male patient with bronchiectasis complicated by infection, characterized by advanced age, multiple comorbidities (hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc.), and complex conditions (concurrent COVID-19 infection and gastrointestinal perforation), posing significant therapeutic and nursing challenges. The treatment combined Western medicine (antibiotics, expectorants) with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including modified Shashen Maidong Decoction and auricular acupressure. Nursing interventions focused on comprehensive assessment of multisystem issues, close monitoring, medication management, TCM-based care, and complication prevention. This case highlights the critical role of holistic nursing evaluation, individualized care planning, and multidisciplinary collaboration in integrated TCM-Western medicine approaches, offering a reference for similar cases.
