These findings indicate that the occurrence of adverse effects may not be directly related to dose or duration of infusion, but emphasizes the risk that sporadic factors may be involved, such as genetic mutations. Guidelines are presented.

The physiology of cardiac output and blood pressure is examined along with an explanation of adrenergic receptors acted on by inotropes. Some common indications for inotropic therapy are discussed, along with essential patient monitoring and dose calculations to ensure safe therapeutic ranges are observed. Some of the most commonly used positive inotropes used in critical care environments are individually explored, providing indications and some of the latest research relating to their uses. Frequently, observed side effects of individual inotropes are also offered, enabling the nurse to maintain patient safety when administering these...

There is a need to receive information, especially about the baby, and to have one's family close by, when in an ICU despite illness severity. How the new family is met by the staff is of great importance.

However, the evidence to date is strongly indicative of a positive association. Several studies reported the use of additional VCB elements. In these cases it is difficult to establish which elements are related to the measured outcomes. Further research is recommended to establish baseline outcome measures using the four‐element VCB, before adding further processes singly, as well as research investigating the effect of audit and feedback on VCB compliance and its effect on clinical outcomes.Relevance to clinical practice: A reduction in VAP is associated with VCB use. The evidence to date, whilst not at ...

Tooth‐brushing is recommended in providing a higher standard of oral care to mechanically ventilated patients and reducing VAP when used with chlorhexidine. However, limitations in study design and inconsistency in results suggest that further research is required into the effects of tooth‐brushing.

Providing a clinical learning environment that is, conducive to mastering these essential skills is a key component of ensuring clinical competence. Yet there are few publications worldwide that focus on clinical learning for qualified nurses entering ICU for the first time. Factors that affect clinical learning in ward environments have been clearly identified. It remains unclear if these factors are applicable to the ICU environment.Aims and Objectives: (1) To describe how registered nurses new to ICU environment perceive their clinical learning environment; (2) to identify the factors that influence these perceptions.Design: Descriptive quantitative survey de...

While learning general, transferable communication skills, such as therapeutic listening, has been common in nursing education, learning specific communication tools, such as breaking bad news, has been the norm for medical education. Critical care nurses may also benefit from learning communication tools that are more specific to end‐of‐life care.Strategy: We conducted a 90‐min interactive workshop at a national conference for a group of 78 experienced critical care nurses where we presented three communication tools using short didactics. We utilized theatre style and paired role play simulation. The Ask‐Tell‐Ask, Tell Me More and Situation‐Background‐Assess...

It is noted that educational opportunities need to be provided for critical care nurses to increase the knowledge on planning and delivering EoL care. To inform this evaluation of current EoL care provision in critical care is necessary to address a knowledge deficit of the needs of nurses who seek to support patients and their families at a critical time.

In addition, there are a number of reasons why the consequences of this complacency are not as visible as in other settings.Implications for practice: If nurses are not aware of the potential and consequences of inappropriate trust, there is a real possibility that patients may suffer harm because of it. There is an urgent need for more research to identify direct evidence of complacency and its consequences. There is also a need for these issues to be highlighted in the training of intensive care nurses and there are implications for intensive care unit practice protocols and equipment manufacturers.

This study provides a significant addition to the evidence base in this area and allows intensive care nurses to plan, implement and evaluate more effectively their nursing care for brain‐injured children.

Critical Care Nurse Practitioner models were cost effective, appropriate and efficient in the delivery of critical care services.Relevance to clinical practise: In Australia, there was minimal evidence of Critical Care Nurse Practitioner impact on adult, paediatric or neonatal intensive care units. The international evidence suggests that the contribution of the role needs to be strongly considered in light of future Australian service demands and workforce supply needs. In Australia, the Critical Care Nurse Practitioner role and range of activities falls well short of international evidence. Hence, it was necessary to scope the international literat...

The harmful effects of oxygen are highlighted to alert the clinician to this potential when there is an overabundance of oxygen.Relevance to clinical practice: Oxygen is one of the most common drugs used in the medical community; however, the effects of oxygen on the body are not well understood. The use of oxygen if not prescribed correctly can cause cellular damage and death. Clinicians need to be more aware of the effects of oxygen and the damage it may cause if not administered properly.

There is a need for further research into the clinical outcomes of prone positioning, and greater understanding of the practicalities of prone positioning critically ill patients is required.Relevance to clinical practice: Nurses have a central role to play in the continual assessment and management of this patient group, including the position they are nursed in, not only to ensure the best clinical outcomes but also to provide care and comfort to the patient and their family. It is therefore important that their nursing practice and interventions are informed by the best available evidence.

Failures of communication, considered examples of poor collaboration among health care professionals, are the leading cause of inadvertent harm across all health care settings. Evidence suggests effective interprofessional collaboration results in improved outcomes for critically ill patients. One recent study demonstrated a link between low standardized mortality ratios and self‐identified levels of collaboration. The aim of this paper is to discuss determinants and complexities of interprofessional collaboration, the evidence supporting its impact on outcomes in the ICU, and interventions designed ...

This causes difficulties for adult nurses because they are required to utilize specialist paediatric knowledge and skills that are practised on an infrequent basis only. This can lead them to experience feelings of stress, anxiety and a lack of confidence when caring for this distinct patient group. To address these issues, an education strategy was planned and implemented, which required staff members to attend a study day, organize a one day clinical placement and achieve a personal learning objective pertaining to paediatrics. This involved collaboration between key stakeholders, links to the lead paediatric centre, incorporation of lo...

The result of training enabled us to successfully treat a young female with the influenza A virus with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). I report the positive outcome that occurred, while continuing to run a busy general intensive care unit (ICU). She was the first of six patients who were all successfully treated with ECMO. Ten trained and experienced critical care nurses and two doctors attended the ECMO training course provided by the national centre in the UK.

psychological stress accentuates pathophysiological sequlae, through release of neuropeptides. The role of neuropeptides is suggested as an important field of investigation for critical care nursing. However, currently available data are insufficient to draw firm conclusions. Focussed studies on the physiologic correlates of psychological stress in the critically ill are needed. Relevance to clinical practice: If this hypothesis is corroborated, bedside quantification of selected neuropeptides may contribute to the assessment of stress and of the effectiveness of psychological support interventions in the future. Moreover, psychosocial and, probably, pharmacological support interventions may be effective adjuncts to the care of the cri...

When these factors are not carefully controlled and the optimum technique for aerosol delivery is not utilized, a greater proportion of the aerosol will deposit in the ventilator circuits and artificial airways decreasing the available dose to the patient. Attention to these factors and optimizing aerosol delivery techniques will help to reach therapeutic endpoints of bronchodilator therapy in patients receiving ventilatory support. Relevance to clinical practice: Bronchodilator delivery during mechanical ventilation is factor and technique dependent. A clear understanding of the factor...

Donation has been embraced as a normal part of end of life care.

Background: The growing understanding of long-term consequences of intensive care therapy has compelled nurses to introduce patient diaries to prevent problems after discharge from ICU. Research on this practice is limited. Design/method: The study had a qualitative descriptive design, and was conducted by means of semi-structured telephone interviews with 30 participants, all experienced intensive care nurses. The strategy of analysis was a template organizing style. Findings: The findings show that 31 out of 70 ICUs offer patient diaries, and many units have a long history of diary w...
