Application of Traditional Chinese Medicine Oral Care Combined with a Negative Pressure Suction Oral Care Device in Preventing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in a Mechanically Ventilated Patient: A Case Report
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in a patient with severe infection receiving mechanical ventilation through the application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) oral care combined with a negative pressure suction oral care device. On the basis of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment and nursing, and following the principles of clearing heat and detoxifying as well as resolving turbidity with aromatics, an herbal formula comprising Lonicera japonica (jinyinhua) and Forsythia suspensa (lianqiao), among other herbs, was used for oral care. Negative pressure suction was employed to promptly remove oral secretions, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of VAP. The patient was successfully extubated on the third day following endotracheal intubation, with no VAP occurring during hospitalization. Oral hygiene was maintained satisfactorily, and no mucosal injury or infectious complications were observed.
