Nursing Experience of Treating a Postoperative Wound Non-healing Patient with Chinese Herbal Medicine Dressing Combined with Red Light Irradiation
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of treating a postoperative wound non-healing patient with type 2 diabetes using Chinese herbal medicine dressing combined with red light irradiation. Based on the theory of "encouraging pus formation to promote flesh growth", the staged debridement and tissue regeneration Chinese herbal medicine dressing technique was adopted, combined with red light irradiation and a diabetic diet management model, to implement a collaborative intervention of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. After 38 days of treatment, the wound area of the patient decreased from 10 cm×15 cm to 4 cm×8 cm (healing rate 78.7%), the exudate volume decreased from 15 mL/d to 1.5 mL/d (a 90% reduction), and the NRS pain score decreased from 6 to 2. This case innovatively proposed a three-stage sequential therapy of "debridement - promoting healing - epithelialization", providing a clinical pathway for the management of diabetic chronic wounds.
