Abstract:

To summarize the nursing care of a patient with complex diffuse cervical arteriovenous malformation after surgery for anterior mediastinal tumors. In response to issues such as the lesion being located in the airway,high risk of bleeding,unpredictable timing of intubation,and physical and psychological complications,multidisciplinary cooperation has been implemented to prevent airway bleeding,monitor complications of embolic agent use,and provide psychological treatment to improve patient quality of life. The tracheal intubation was removed successfully after 103 days of intubation. On the 5th day after extubation,the patient’s condition was stable and discharged. The patient was followed up for 3 months,and the patient’s condition was good.
