Nursing Experience of Treating a Patient with Spleen-Stomach Deficiency Type Hyperemesis Gravidarum Using Medicinal Cake-Separated Moxibustion Combined with Auricular Acupressure from the Perspective of Strengthening Spleen and Harmonizing Stomach Theory
To summarize the nursing experience of treating spleen-stomach deficiency type hyperemesis gravidarum using medicinal cake-separated moxibustion combined with auricular acupressure based on the theory of strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the stomach.
Methods
2
Guided by the principle of syndrome differentiation and nursing, interventions included medicinal cake-separated moxibustion (applied at acupoints Zhongwan, Neiguan, and Zusanli) combined with auricular acupressure (targeting Shenmen, Spleen, Stomach, Liver, Kidney, Esophagus, Cardia, and Diaphragm points).
Results
2
After 3 days of treatment, the patient’s nausea and vomiting symptoms significantly improved, with cessation of immediate postprandial vomiting and restored appetite. The tongue presentation shifted from pale with white greasy coating and tooth marks to pale-red with thin white coating. The PUQE (Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis) score decreased from 15 to 3. Anxiety was alleviated, and the patient was discharged after 5 days of hospitalization.
Conclusion
2
This combined therapy effectively relieves nausea and vomiting, improves nutritional status and emotional well-being, and is clinically practical for widespread adoption.
