This trial tests whether teaching nurses proven methods can lower the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection from breathing machines) in intensive care. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
This trial trains nurses in evidence-based practices to prevent common infections in intensive care units (ICUs). It aims to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia, pressure injuries, and bloodstream infections from central lines.
This study looks at how nursing leadership affects infection prevention efforts in intensive care units. It also checks how well ICUs are doing at fighting antibiotic-resistant germs. If you are an experienced ICU nurse, your views can help improve patient safety.
This study tests a new method to prevent infections from central lines (special IVs placed in large veins) in intensive care units. If you have a central line in place for more than 24 hours, this research may help improve your safety by finding better ways to avoid catheter-related bloodstream infections.
This trial tests a new way to improve mouth care for patients on breathing machines in the ICU. The goal is to reduce infections and keep your mouth healthy.
This study looks at how different staffing and support strategies may help patients who need a breathing machine in the ICU. Researchers want to see if these approaches can improve care and recovery.
