Learning Objective 1: compare incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia between traumatic brain injured patient who recieve nursing care following clinical nursing practice guideline and usual care
Learning Objective 2: compare duration of mechanical ventilation between traumatic brain injured patient who recieve nursing care following clinical nursing practice guideline and usual care
The findings showed that
1. The clinical nursing practice guidelines group had more significantly decreased the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia than the control group (p < .05)
2. The clinical nursing practice guidelines group had more significantly decrease the duration of mechanical ventilator than the control group (p < .05)
The findings indicated that the clinical nursing practice guidelines could help patients with traumatic brain injury to decrease the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia and duration of mechanical ventilation. Therefore, utilization of this clinical nursing practice guideline is recommended to prevent the occurrence of VAP in order to improve the quality of care.
