Abstract

This article summarized the nursing experience of a patient with plasma cell disease who developed cytokine release syndrome(CRS) following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR-T) therapy. The patient exhibited severe clinical manifestations of CRS,including altered mental status,chills with high fever,hypotension,and pancytopenia. A comprehensive nursing approach was implemented,which included rigorous monitoring of the patient’s condition,prompt initiation of emergency response protocols,circulatory support,continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT),and infection prevention. As a result of these measures,the patient was successfully treated and discharged. Follow-up revealed that the patient had a good quality of life.
