Objective: To explore the effect of care bundles and analyze the influence of different angles of turning over on the sputum excretion of mechanically ventilated patients with severe pneumonia.
Methods: 120 patients with severe pneumonia in our hospital from October 2016 to October 2019 were equally randomized into four groups, each with 30, according to the date of admission. The control group was given conventional nursing and placed in a position of left 30°-half lying-right 30°; the group A was given comprehensive care bundles and placed in a position of left 30°-half lying-right 30°; the group B was given comprehensive care bundles and placed in a position of left 45°-half lying-right 45°, and the group C was given comprehensive care bundles and placed in a position of 60° left-half lying-60° right. The respiratory rates and oxygenation indexes of patients in the three groups (group A, B, C) in lateral position at 2 h and 6 h respectively before and after mechanical ventilation were compared. And we compared the nursing efficiency and satisfaction.
Results: The control group showed lower nursing efficiency and satisfaction compared with the group A (P<0.05). The group B and C showed higher oxygenation index after six hours of ventilation compared with group A (P<0.05). After two hours of mechanical ventilation, the group B and C showed lower respiratory rate and higher oxygenation index compared with the group A, and the respiratory rate and oxygenation index of the group B were closest to the normal range (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The sputum excretion effect of mechanically ventilated patients with severe pneumonia was the best if they were placed in a position of left 45°-half lying-right 45° and given comprehensive care bundles.

Purpose Of Review: To review the evidence that supports the implementation of goal-directed care bundle protocols to improve outcomes from neurocritical conditions, and of the possible advantage of specific over generalized protocols.
Recent Findings: Articles from January 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024 were searched to evaluate the effectiveness of standardized management in neurological emergencies. The use of care bundles and standardized protocols with time- and target-related metrics has shown benefit in patients with acute stroke and traumatic brain injury.

Background: Although multifaceted control intervention actions (bundles) are highly effective in reducing the risk of device-related healthcare-associated infections (d-HAIs), no studies have explored their impact on the outcomes of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) or the extent of risk reduction achievable through the bundle implementation.
Methods: Seven hundred ninety-eight prevalent KTRs admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) requiring invasive devices were included: 449 patients from the bundle preimplementation period and 349 from the postimplementation period. The primary outcome was mortality within 90 d of ICU admission.

Background: Cardiac surgery is a major contributor to acute kidney injury (AKI); approximately 22% of patients who undergo cardiac surgery develop AKI, and among them, 2% will require renal replacement therapy (RRT). AKI is also associated with heightened risks of mortality and morbidity, longer intensive care stays, and increased treatment costs. Due to the challenges of treating AKI, prevention through the use of care bundles is suggested as an effective approach.

Background: Pregnancy related hypertension is a leading cause of preventable maternal morbidity and mortality in the US, with consistently higher rates affecting racial minorities. Many complications are preventable with timely treatment, in alignment with the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health's Patient Safety Bundle ("Bundle"). The Bundle has been implemented successfully in inpatient settings, but 30% of preeclampsia-related morbidity occurs in outpatient settings in North Carolina.
