Abstract

Abstract:

To summarize the nursing experience in managing a patient with deep neck infection complicated by diabetic ketoacidosis（DKA），which progressed to a malignant mediastinal abscess. Addressing challenges including high surgical coordination demands of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration，significant difficulties in infection control，pharyngolaryngeal dysfunction，and severe negative emotions，a multidisciplinary team developed a comprehensive perioperative management plan. Interventions included a multidisciplinary approach to coordinate the entire surgical process，multifaceted nursing strategies to control infection risks，optimized glycemic management，transitional nutritional support，as well as music therapy and emotion-focused therapy to enhance psychological support. The patient was discharged successfully after 26 days. Follow-up at two months indicated favorable recovery and successful reintegration into society.
