Article Synopsis
- - The advancements in treating abdominal aortic aneurysms over the last 15 years have led to the need for a reassessment of the quality assurance guidelines for nursing personnel training in intensive care in Germany, which currently mandates a 50% specialist training quota that lacks empirical backing.
- - A diverse group of 37 experts participated in a modified Delphi process involving literature searches, surveys, and discussions to assess and redefine training quotas for nursing staff, ultimately reaching a consensus.
- - The expert panel recommended lowering the required specialist training quota to 30% and emphasized the need for structured programs to maintain and elevate nursing staff qualifications in intensive care units managing abdominal aortic aneurysms.
