Effect of Implementing Respiratory Care Unit Ventilator Weaning Assessment Checklist on Weaning and Extubation Outcomes.

Background: Approximately 48% of patients with chronic respiratory disorders experience post-extubation respiratory failure necessitating noninvasive respiratory support or reintubation, which is linked to higher morbidity and mortality. So, it is necessary to determine patients' preparedness for weaning and extubation.

Objectives: To examine the effect of implementing respiratory care unit (RCC) ventilator weaning assessment checklist on weaning and extubation outcomes.

The Effect of Regular Oral Care Protocol on Preventing or Decreasing Severity of Oral Mucositis in Acute Leukemia Patient: A Prospective Trail.

This article reports a study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of regular oral care protocol developed specifically for adults in intensive care to prevent mucositis. Data were collected using oral mucositis assessment scale, oral cavity assessment tool, and the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria. The results indicated that oral mucositis can be reduced through the practice of administering oral care in accordance with oral health care guidelines.

HEART vs EDACS Scores on Predicting Major Events Among Patients With Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome at the Cardiac Emergency Department.

Unlabelled: Coronary risk scores, such as History, Electrocardiogram, Age, Risk Factors, and Troponin (HEART) and Emergency Department Assessment of Chest Pain Score (EDACS) scores, help nurses identify suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients who have a risk for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) within 30 days.

Aim: To compare the accuracy of HEART and EDACS scores in predicting major events among patients suspected of ACS in the cardiac emergency department (ED).

Design And Methods: A prospective correlational observational study design was performed on cardiac ED patients who presented with suspected ACS.
