This case study reported the nursing experience of caring a patient who underwent a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) complicated with pneumonia due to acute coronary syndrom after angiography. During care of this patient from August 13, 2006 to August 20, 2006, using Gordon health assessment approach, observation, interviewing, and listening, the author disclosed that the patient had problems of ineffective tissue perfusion, specify ineffective airway clearance, and anxiety. Due to the above health problems, the author closely monitored vital signs and provided health care to reduce the symptoms of pulmonary edema and to prevent heart failure. As to the dysfunction of airway clearance, the author taught the patient the skills of breathing and coughing, and provided appropriate physical therapy to alleviate lung complications such as sputum accumulation and bronchioatlectasis for the removal of intubation. By using a multi-aspect nursing approach and support of his family, the patient felt confident in recovery and successfully being discharged from the ICU.
