Application effect of TCM nursing intervention in elderly patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease complicated with heart failure
Objective To explore the application effect of TCM nursing intervention in elderly patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease complicated with heart failure.Methods A total of 100 elderly patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease complicated with heart failure who received treatment in our hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 were included as the study objects and divided into reference group(50 cases,routine nursing)and TCM group(50 cases,routine nursing + TCM nursing intervention)by random number table method.The heart function,lung function and quality of life of the two groups were compared.Results After intervention,the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),cardiac output(CO),stroke volume(SV),maximal voluntary ventilation(MVV)and forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC)in both groups were higher than those before intervention,and those in the TCM group were higher than the reference group(P<0.05).After intervention,the scores for each dimension of Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74(GQOLI-74)in the two groups were higher than those before intervention,and those in the TCM group were higher than the reference group(P<0.05).Conclusion TCM nursing intervention can significantly improve the cardiopulmonary function of elderly patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease complicated with heart failure,and has a positive effect on improving the quality of life.
