Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Nursing for Acute Massive Cerebral Infarction Complicated by Pulmonary Infection
This article summarizes the nursing experience of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine approaches for a patient with acute massive cerebral infarction complicated by pulmonary infection. Based on comprehensive patient assessment, targeted nursing interventions were implemented including airway management, skin care, and nutritional support. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation therapies were administered, including modified Baduanjin exercises, moxibustion therapy, and auricular acupressure. The patient showed significant clinical improvement: oxygen therapy was successfully downgraded from Venturi mask to nasal cannula, sputum characteristics improved from yellow viscous to white thin consistency, chest CT demonstrated resolution of pulmonary infiltrates without secondary infection, and NIHSS score decreased from 22 to 10, indicating substantial neurological recovery.
