Nursing Experience of Auricular Acupressure Combined with Acupoint Application in Alleviating Dyspnea in a Patient with Severe Heart Failure
This article summarizes the nursing experience of integrating auricular acupressure and acupoint application to manage dyspnea in a patient with severe heart failure. Building upon routine care in the coronary care unit (CCU), the implementation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) techniques, including auricular seed embedding and herbal acupoint patches, effectively relieved respiratory distress and contributed to stabilizing vital signs. This integrated TCM-Western nursing approach provides practical insights for improving dyspnea in critical heart failure patients.
