Spinal anesthesia is a technique widely used for its efficacy and safety, and it is also known as spinal, subarachnoid, intra-dural, or intra-thecal anesthesia. It is characterized by the administration of an anesthetic in the subarachnoid space that is located between the pia mater and arachnoid meninges to generate a sequential block in the nerve fibers. Aim of study : This review aims to investigate and identify the risk factors associated with administering spinal anesthesia. Method : We conducted a clinical study in 100 patients to determine the incidence of hypotension (systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg), bradycardia (heart rate less than 60 beats/min), nausea, vomiting, and tachycardia during spinal anesthesia. Results and Findings : The data were analyzed and organized statistically according to The objective of the current study (the objectives of this study were to identify risk factors and the occurrence of complications during spinal anesthesia) using the SPSS program. Version 28. Conclusion : The present study concludes that BMI and the dose of SA were the factors associated with SA-induced hypotension during a CS, and the site of the SA puncture equal to or lower than L2 was the only risk factor associated with spinal anesthesia-induced bradycardia. Recommendation ; based on the study, the following recommendations are suggested: Health education program about risk factors. and Complication of Spinal anesthesia.","PeriodicalId":505881,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Health Care","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141277533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As advanced technology and learning ways like simulation continue to evolve, it is vital for new as well as old nurse educators worldwide to have effectiveness in their teaching skills and abilities. Thus, Simulation is an evidence-based learning method and is widely used in the nursing educational field. Study aim : To determine the effectiveness of simulation-guided intervention on nurses' performance regarding basic life support. Study design : A quasi-experimental research design was used. Setting : The study was carried out in Critical Care and Emergency Nursing skill laboratories at the Nursing faculty, at Mansoura University. Study Subject : Convenience samples of 50 nurses were included from the previously selected settings that worked at intensive care and emergency units. Data collection tools : Tool I: structured interview questionnaire which included two parts related to personal data and nurses' knowledge regarding basic life support, and Tool I: nurses' practice regarding basic life support. Results : Showed that there were observed improvements in nurses' total knowledge and practice post implementation of simulation-guided by intervention regarding basic life support compared to pretest with statistically significant differences. Conclusions : Conclusion : Simulation-guided by intervention improved nurses' knowledge and performance in the field of basic life support. According to the results, integrating conventional training with simulation-guided intervention can be effective in learning basic life support among nurses as an active learning strategies to develop nurses' performance in applying clinical skills. Recommendations : The latest guidelines of CPR should be available inwritten format in critical care units and emergency units. In-service educationand training programs regarding CPR should be taught to all nurses. The use of educational resources such as simulator manikins allows participants to experience an emergent critical situation, take action, and review the consequences of choices.

However, it is sometimes neglected due to the focus on supporting vital body functions. These patients are at great risk of eye disorders as a result of their medical conditions and treatment that can alter the eye protective mechanisms, such as the use of ventilatory support and sedation. Preventing eye problems requires improving the critical care nurses’ competency through continuous pre-service education, hands-on experience, and in-service training. Aim: Assess the effect of eye care clinical guidelines training on critical care nurses’ competency and eye complications among critically ill patients. Methods : Interventional research using a pre-post design was used to assess and compare nurses' scores before and after the ECCGs training. A Convenient sample of all nurses (75) who worked in the critical care unit in the Main University Hospital at Alexandria University and agreed to participate in the study was enrolled in the study. In addition, a purposive sample of 100 adult patients who had eligible criteria was included in the study. The data of the current study were collected by using three tools namely “eye care clinical competency questionnaire”, “Patient’s eye assessment record”, and “Superficial ocular surface disorders assessment scales package ” . Results: A total of 75 nurses and 100 critically ill patients participated in the current study. The percent scores of post-implementation nurses’ eye care knowledge and practice were significantly higher than their pre-implementation scores (p ≤ 0.001) respectively. However, there was no significant difference between the nurses’ attitude scores (p 0.147). Additionally, the percent scores of eye complications were 84% in patients who received care from nurses before attending the in-service training compared to 46% of eye complications among the patients who received care from nurses after attending the in-service training with a high significant difference between both studied groups (p <0.001).
