The effectiveness and complication of the endotracheal suctioning procedure is associated with the method of performing. The procedure requires clinical expertise, so the nurses should perform this procedure safely and effectively. The present study was carried out to assess the gap between knowledge and practice in standard endotracheal suctioning of intensive care unit nurses. In this cross sectional descriptive study knowledge and practice of 118 nurses in the 11 ICU’s of children hospital Lahore, Pakistan was analyzed. The sampling method is purposive. Data were collected using 35 item questionnaire and 31 item checklist. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used to analyze the data. The result of the study revealed that the participant have good level of knowledge (mean score 24 ±3.0) and fair level of practice as (mean practice score was 17.85± 5.67) showing that there is a gap between knowledge and practice. There is no relationship between knowledge and practice score. Significant relationship was found between practice score, total experience (p=0.007) and ICU type (p=0.004).

Published in final edited form as: J Therm Sci Eng Appl. 2020 April ; 12(2): . doi:10.1115/1.4044345. Underground Mine Refuge Alternatives Heat Mitigation Lincan Yan, David Yantek, Timothy Lutz, Jeffrey Yonkey, Justin Srednicki The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), 626 Cochrans Mill Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236 Abstract In case of an emergency in an underground coal mine, miners who fail to escape from the mine can enter a refuge alternative (RA) for protection from adverse conditions, such as high carbon monoxide levels. One of the main concerns with the use of both portable and built-in-place (BIP) RAs, especially for hot or deep mines, is the interior temperature rise due to the occupants’ metabolic heat and the heat released by devices such as the carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubbing system. The humidity within the RA will also increase through occupants’ respiration and perspiration and from the chemical reaction within the CO2 scrubbing system. Heat and humidity buildup can subject the occupants to hazardous thermal conditions. To protect RA occupants, Mine Safety and Health Administration regulations mandate a maximum apparent temperature of 95 °F within an occupied RA. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) tested both an air-conditioned borehole air supply (BAS) and a cryogenic air supply for RAs in the NIOSH Experimental Mine in Bruceton, PA. The BAS was tested on a 60-person BIP RA, while the cryogenic air supply was tested on a 30-person BIP RA and a portable 23-person tent-type RA.

The importance of such competencies is becoming increasingly evident because of their relevance both to LAB school and to job performance. The guide begins with a brief a program of analysis of why it is critical to assess these skills in light of both the The Education Alliance current standards environment in education and key trends in the at Brown University economy. The guide includes an overview of tools and materials for assessing high-performance competencies and profiles of selected 222 Richmond Street, Suite 300 tools and materials.

O’Connor,# MD, FCCM * ** †† ‡‡ §§ ∥∥ As noted in part 1 of this series, periprocedural cardiac arrest (PPCA) can differ greatly in etiol- ogy and treatment from what is described by the American Heart Association advanced cardiac life support algorithms, which were largely developed for use in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and in-hospital cardiac arrest outside of the perioperative space. Specifically, there are several life- threatening causes of PPCA of which the management should be within the skill set of all anes- thesiologists. However, previous research has demonstrated that continued review and training in the management of these scenarios is greatly needed and is also associated with improved delivery of care and outcomes during PPCA. There is a growing body of literature describing the incidence, causes, treatment, and outcomes of common causes of PPCA (eg, malignant hyperthermia, massive trauma, and local anesthetic systemic toxicity) and the need for a better awareness of these topics within the anesthesiology community at large. As noted in part 1 of this series, these events are always witnessed by a member of the perioperative team, frequently anticipated, and involve rescuer–providers with knowledge of the patient and the procedure they are undergoing or have had.
