Nursing Experience of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for a Patient with Pneumocystis Pneumonia Complicated by Multiple Organ Dysfunction
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the care of a 69-year-old immunocompromised patient who developed severe pneumonia with multiple organ dysfunction after Pneumocystis infection due to long-term oral corticosteroid therapy. Nursing assessment encompassed respiratory, circulatory, nutritional, coagulation, and integumentary functions, along with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation, with the TCM pattern evolving from phlegm-turbidity obstructing the lung to phlegm-heat congesting the lung. Nursing diagnoses included impaired gas exchange, ineffective airway clearance, and imbalanced nutrition. The care plan incorporated individualized non-invasive ventilation, antimicrobial therapy, anticoagulation, hepatoprotective measures, and nutritional support, complemented by stage-specific auricular acupressure, TCM herbal hot compress therapy, and syndrome-differentiated oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine. Following 27 days of nursing intervention, the patient's respiratory function improved and multi-organ function demonstrated recovery before being transferred to another hospital. This case indicates that integrated TCM-Western medicine nursing exerts a synergistic therapeutic effect and is suitable for promotion and application in the intensive care unit (ICU).
