Abstract： Objective： To observe the effect of Chinese medicine emotional nursing combined with routine nursing on psychological status of patients with myocardial infarction after rescue in emergency. Methods：A total of 83 cases of patients with acute myocardial infarction were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method， 41 and 42 cases in each group respectively. The control group was given routine nursing， and the observation group was additionally treated with Chinese medicine emotional nursing based on the treatment of the control group. The door-to-balloon(D2B) time，first medical contact to balloon(FMC2B) time，hospitalization time，rescue success rates and in-hospital recurrence rates in the two groups were compared，and the changes in psychological status between on admission(before intervention) and transfer or at discharge in the two groups were evaluated by Self- rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS). Results：The time of FMC2B and D2B as well as the hospitalization time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group，the difference being significant(P＜0.05). The rescue success rate was 95.24% and the in-hospital recurrence rate was 7.14% in the observation group，and the rescue success rate was 80.49% and the in-hospital recurrence rate was 17.07% in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05). Before intervention， there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of the scores of SDS and SAS between the two groups(P＞0.05). After intervention，the scores of SDS and SAS in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05)，and the above scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion： Chinese medicine emotional nursing combined with routine nursing can effectively improve psychological status of patients with myocardial infarction after rescue in emergency， shorten rescue time and hospitalization time，and improve rescue success rate.
