This paper describes the experience of nursing a fire survivor in the intensive care unit (ICU). The survivor was sent to the ICU because of an inhalation injury combined with acute respiratory failure. Together with dyspnea, the patient was also experiencing post-traumatic responses. Care providers collected the data through observation and hand-written communication. It was after analyzing the data that we confirmed the patient to be experiencing the health problems associated with post-traumatic responses. The problem was the major focus of our caregiving. A good relationship was fostered with the patient through support and understanding while the patient's physical condition was stabilized. With appropriate nursing intervention and professional medical consultation, the patient's condition improved. In accordance with the physical condition of the patient, which they continued to monitor after the patient's return to the ward and subsequent discharge, the nurses provided continuous, holistic care. The patient recovered from the physical pain and psychological damage, as well as the depression and was able to resume a normal life.
