Abstract:

This paper summarized the nursing experience of a lung transplant patient with rhabdomyolysis who underwent continuous renal replacement therapy. For elderly patient with poor multi-organ functional reserve,high risk of abnormal coagulation function,and high risk of infection under immunosuppression,the following nursing measures were taken:early initiation of continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration mode treatment,using high-flux filters to enhance myoglobin clearance;implementing a stepwise anticoagulation plan,optimizing the anticoagulation strategy;strengthening catheter maintenance to prevent infection. After 30 days of individualized treatment and nursing,the patient’s creatine kinase decreased from 12,450 U/L to 287 U/L,the lower limb muscle strength recovered from grade 2 to grade 4,no bleeding or infection complications occurred,and the patient smoothly transitioned to intermittent renal replacement therapy,ultimately achieving stable discharge.
