Nursing Experience of Triple Therapy for Intestinal Obstruction in a Patient with Postoperative Enterostomy following Colorectal Cancer Surgery: A Case Study
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of applying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) retention enema combined with auricular acupoint pressing and warm moxibustion device therapy in the treatment of intestinal obstruction with fu-qi obstruction syndrome in a patient following postoperative enterostomy for colorectal cancer. A 71-year-old patient with intestinal obstruction after radical surgery for rectal cancer, differentiated as qi and blood deficiency with concomitant fu-qi obstruction syndrome according to TCM syndrome differentiation, received triple TCM nursing interventions—including TCM retention enema, auricular acupoint pressing, and warm moxibustion device therapy—on the basis of routine nursing care. The patient's defecation and flatus, abdominal distension and pain, anxiety, and improvement in TCM syndromes were observed. The results demonstrated that this intervention effectively alleviated the patient's abdominal distension and pain, reduced anxiety, enhanced quality of life, and exhibited a favorable safety profile. It is particularly suitable for elderly, physically debilitated postoperative patients and merits broader clinical application.
