Background: Imposed immobilization after electrophysiological studies (EPS) is known to cause different complications. The current study aims to assess the effect of early ambulation on comfort and vascular complications among patients undergoing transfemoral catheterization for EPS.
Materials And Methods: Hundred participants were assigned to control and intervention groups (50 each) using block randomization.
Article Synopsis
- * A questionnaire with 24 questions (14 focused on knowledge and 10 on attitude) was distributed to nursing and medical students, as well as postgraduate residents across three hospitals, assessing their understanding of long-term effects and psychosocial issues faced by survivors.
- * Results showed that out of 898 participants, the average knowledge score was 8.72 out of 14, with postgraduate medical residents scoring higher than their undergraduate peers, indicating a significant gap in knowledge among healthcare providers in LMICs regarding survivorship care.
Effect of fourth hourly oropharyngeal suctioning on ventilator-associated events in patients requiring mechanical ventilation in intensive care units of a tertiary care center in South India: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a necessary life-saving measure for critically ill patients. Ventilator-associated events (VAEs) are potentially avoidable complications associated with MV that can double the rate of death. Oral care and oropharyngeal suctioning, although neglected procedures, play a vital role in the prevention of VAE.
