Nursing Experience of a Patient with Postoperative Peritonitis Following Rectal Cancer Surgery
This article summarizes the comprehensive nursing experience of a patient with secondary peritonitis and septic shock after rectal cancer surgery. The core nursing strategy involved phased systemic interventions: during the septic shock phase, hemodynamic monitoring, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and meticulous fluid management were prioritized; in the infection control phase, antibiotic combination therapy and specialized care for multiple abdominal drainage tubes were emphasized. Throughout the treatment, integrated respiratory management, individualized nutritional support, standardized pain control, and health education were implemented. Through multidisciplinary, systematic, and personalized nursing interventions, the patient achieved effective infection control, shock resolution, and stabilized vital signs, ultimately transitioning to a general ward without severe complications. This case highlights that timely recognition of clinical deterioration and holistic, systematic nursing are critical for rescuing critically ill patients and promoting recovery.
