Nursing Experience of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for a Severe Case of Psittacosis Complicated with Multiple Underlying Diseases
This article summarizes the integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (TCM-WM) nursing approach for an elderly patient with severe psittacosis complicated by sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage, grade 3 (high-risk) hypertension, and epilepsy. Addressing the clinical challenges of high fever, cough, refractory sputum, and right-sided limb dysfunction due to Chlamydia psittaci infection, alongside multiple comorbidities, a comprehensive nursing assessment and psittacosis-specific laboratory results guided the establishment of core objectives: targeted anti-infection therapy, airway clearance, stabilization of underlying conditions, and complication prevention. Innovative strategies included a "three-dimensional airway clearance technique" and a "syndrome differentiation-based nursing + integrated comorbidity management" model, combining Western antimicrobial therapy with TCM interventions (e.g., acupoint stimulation and sequential herbal medicine). These measures effectively improved respiratory function, controlled infection, preserved limb mobility, and reduced complication risks. The patient recovered after 14 days of treatment and remained stable at the 1-month follow-up without recurrence or complications, offering a reference for managing similar complex cases.
