A Case Report of Specialized Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing Treatment for a Severe Case of Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is characterized by acute onset and carries a high mortality rate among elderly patients. This paper reports the management and nursing care of an elderly patient with non-exertional heat stroke complicated by multiple organ dysfunction. On the basis of Western medical critical care, the nursing team integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing interventions at an early stage, including emotional regulation, dietary conditioning, acupoint massage, and Chinese herbal decoctions. This protocol, combined with core treatments such as body temperature control and fluid resuscitation, demonstrated advantages in improving the patient's consciousness, regulating gastrointestinal function, and enhancing overall comfort. The results indicate that the integrated Chinese and Western medicine nursing model can provide humanistic care for critically ill patients, holding significant implications for improving prognosis and promoting early recovery.
