Background: This project aimed to develop an evidence-based nursing care bundle after gastrostomy feeding tube insertion and implement it into clinical practice using the Knowledge to Action (KTA) framework.
Methods: This mixed-method design project was conducted in a university hospital between December 2021 and June 2022. The project was carried out in four phases: (1) development of an evidence-based care bundle, (2) education for care bundle training, (3) implementation of the care bundle, (4) evaluation of the care bundle. Nurses' compliance with bundles was measured using All-or-None measurement. The analysis of the qualitative interview conducted was performed using the content analysis method of Graneheim and Lundman.
Results: The developed Sezer gastrostomy care bundle consists of three parameters (peristomal area care, tube feeding, and medication administration through the feeding tube) and a total of 14 elements to be applied by nurses under these parameters. Compliance rates for peristomal area care, tube feeding, and medication administration through feeding tube parameters were 100%, 98.66%, and 98.66%, respectively. Two themes and six subthemes emerged: (1) reflection of using the Sezer gastrostomy care bundle on nursing care and (2) adoption of Sezer gastrostomy care bundle.
Conclusion: The gastrostomy care bundle was developed in accordance with the Institute of Healthcare Improvement's recommendations. The KTA framework provided an appropriate structure to transform evidence into practice, meticulously address barriers, evaluate outcomes, and ensure sustainability. The project found that nurses complied with all its parameters. Studies evaluating the effect of the gastrostomy care bundle on patient outcomes are recommended.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognized as one of the most important global public health threats. There is an urgent need to reduce the spread of these multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR-B), particularly in extremely vulnerable patients. The aim of this study was to investigate whether targeted gene amplification performed directly on clinical samples can be used simultaneously with a bundle of enhanced infection control measures in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) endemic to MDR-B.

Introduction: Unplanned, delayed readmissions (>30 ds) following oncologic surgeries can increase mortality and care costs and affect hospital quality indices. However, there is a dearth of literature on rectal cancer surgery. Hence, we aimed to assess the risk factors associated with delayed readmissions following rectal cancer surgery to improve targeted interventions, patient outcomes, and quality indices.

Introduction: Permanent implantation of a DF-4 implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) lead in the left bundle branch area (LBBA-ICD) is the next paradigm in amalgamating cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and defibrillation. We systematically investigated feasibility/success rate, procedural caveats, and complications associated with a permanent DF-4 LBBA ICD implant and pertinent data at short-term follow-up.
Methods: We prospectively attempted implantation of 7 Fr Durata (Abbott, Chicago, IL, USA) single coil DF-4 ICD lead at the LBBA using a fixed-curve non-deflectable CPS locator delivery sheath.
