Nursing Experience of Traditional Chinese Medicine Compress Combined with Ultrasound-Mediated Drug Penetration Therapy in Improving Lower Limb Edema in a Patient with Chronic Renal Failure
Lower limb edema is a common complication in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), which seriously compromises both quality of life and clinical outcomes. Therefore, effective treatment and nursing care are of critical importance. In this case report, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compress combined with ultrasound-mediated drug penetration therapy was employed to alleviate lower limb edema in a patient with CRF. The TCM compress was formulated with Chinese herbal medicines possessing diuretic and anti-edema properties, and was topically applied to the affected lower limbs to exert localized therapeutic effects. Ultrasound-mediated drug penetration was utilized to facilitate transdermal drug absorption and enhance therapeutic efficacy. Throughout the treatment course, nursing interventions encompassed the following key aspects: a comprehensive pre-treatment assessment of the patient's general physical condition, skin integrity, and psychological status; close intra-treatment monitoring of herbal decoction temperature, instrument operation, and patient response; and post-treatment skin care along with ongoing evaluation of the patient's condition. Following the implementation of this combined therapeutic and nursing regimen, the patient demonstrated marked improvement in lower limb edema, enhanced comfort, and favorable changes in renal function indicators.
