Outcomes of a Stroke Response Team on the Emergent Management of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Discussion Implementation of a stroke response team increased the knowledge of the care team, improved the timeliness of blood pressure control, and decreased the time for emergency department arrival to a critical care bed, and to anticoagulation reversal agent administration.

Steroid Use for Management of Vasoactive Resistant Shock in Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Patients: Experience of the Consortium of Congenital Cardiac Care–Measurement of Nursing Practice
Discussion Nearly all centers reported using hydrocortisone for the treatment of hypotension refractory to fluid resuscitation and vasoactive medications. Substantial variation in practice exists in areas of diagnosis, dosing, and duration of hydrocortisone. More research is needed to develop a clinical practice guideline to standardize practice.

Refinement of the Intensive Care Unit Complexity Assessment and Monitoring to Ensure Optimal Outcomes III Acuity Tool
This study used a modified Delphi technique. Results Through a series of 4 Delphi rounds, the expert panel identified Domains of Care and nursing care items that were suitable to be collapsed or bundled. The number of Domains of Care decreased from 18 to 10. Each of the expert panel members then completed the ICU CAMEO II tool and the newly revised tool, ICU CAMEO III, on 5 to 10 patients. Sixty completed ICU CAMEO II tools, and ICU CAMEO III tools were available for comparison. The average difference of the 2 tools' total scores was 5 points (minimum, 4; maximum, 7). The level of agreement between the 2 tools by CA...

An Integrated Review of Obstetric Admissions in the Intensive Care Unit
Conclusions This review provided information on characteristics of the obstetric critical care population. Education and instituting early warning systems, formal debriefings, and standardization of protocols may assist in preparing critical care nurses in confidently caring for this population.

Development of a Comprehensive Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Program in a Cardiac Transplant Intensive Care Unit: A Quality Improvement Initiative
Conclusions With the significant growth of ECMO patients, policies, protocols, and management guidelines are essential to provide safe care to these patients. There was a statistically significant improvement in the self-efficacy of both the ECMO specialists and bedside nurses. This was shown to directly correlate to an improvement in professional practice behaviors and ultimately improve the quality of patient care provided to ECMO patients.

Noninvasive and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Output Monitoring: A Nursing Perspective
For decades, nurses have monitored and titrated medications based on cardiac output. In the past, this was almost exclusively done through the use of an invasive pulmonary artery catheter. However, there are inherent patient risks to using a pulmonary artery catheter, and trends have shown a decreased use of this method. Advances in technology have brought about various noninvasive and minimally invasive methods to monitor cardiac output including pulse contour analysis, finger cuff technology, thoracic bioimpedance and bioreactance, and endotracheal electrical bioimpedance. A review of current noninvasive and minimally in...

Shifting Nursing Care Models as a Solution for the Increasing Demand on Intensive Care Unit Beds During a Pandemic: A Case Study
Conclusion This case study should be primarily considered as an example on how rethinking and reorganizing the nursing care delivery model could contribute to an enlarged, qualitative capacity, which needs to be organized in a short time span. (Source: Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing)

Respective Impact of Day and Night Bed Baths on Critical Care Patients
Background Despite data supporting the reduction of interactions with patients during nighttime, bed bathing is sometimes performed within this period in sedated patients unable to manage their own hygiene care. Objectives To compare patient physiologic variables and adverse effect incidence between night and day bed baths. Methods This was a single-center prospective observational study in a 12-bed intensive care unit during 2 months. Night period was defined to run from 10 pm to 6 am. Night bed baths were provided to sedated ventilated patients whatever their sedation, if their Richmond Agitation Sedati...
