This paper discusses the design and implementation of a comprehensive recuperation program for high-altitude convalescents, with traditional Chinese medicine, physiotherapy, hydrogen medicine and hyperbaric oxygen therapy as the core. Due to the influence of the plateau environment, altitude sickness and related diseases often occur in high-altitude convalescents. The comprehensive recuperation program proposed in this paper includes traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), physiotherapy, physical therapy, hydrogen medicine and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, etc., aiming to alleviate the physical discomfort of convalescents. The TCM health care program adjusts the balance of yin and yang in the human body through traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, auricular pressure beans and other methods; Physiotherapy options include gua sha, cupping, wax therapy and magnetotherapy to improve blood circulation and relieve muscle pain. The physical therapy program combines hydrotherapy and Tibetan medicine health exercises to promote the flow of qi and blood; Hydrogen medicine solutions use the antioxidant effects of hydrogen to improve health problems; Hyperbaric oxygen regimens improve tissue hypoxia through high concentrations of oxygen. Individualized care programmes and other programmes emphasize adaptation planning and psychological support tailored to the individual situation. Practice has shown that the Qingdao Special Service Recuperation Center of the Navy has significantly improved the physiological state of the altitude convalescent personnel through these measures and helped them return to normal life. The successful experience of this paper provides a valuable reference for other nursing institutions.
