“…Therefore, there is an urgent need for a standardized assessment instrument for each national protocol and guideline 4 . The transfer of essential information and responsibility for the care of the patient from one health care provider to another is an integral component of communication in health care 5,6 . Irajpour reported that the lack of standards in the design of the assessment sheet as well as the absence of specific data required by ICU doctors can disturb the quality of care and, consequently, proper recording of care‐related data 1 .…”

Background: Patients in intensive care units require comprehensive care.Hence, improving health care quality depends on accurate assessment and documentation.Aim: To develop and validate the content of an assessment sheet for critically ill patients.Study Design and Methods: A Delphi design study was conducted between January and March 2020. The content validity index (CVI) was used to calculate the degree of agreement among the experts to analyse the instrument and the entire set of items.Content validity was determined by seven experts (three critical care nursing professionals, two critical care doctors, and two anaesthesiologists) using a four-point Likert scale. They evaluated the items in terms of the following: 1 = "irrelevant," 2 = "somewhat relevant if the phrasing is profoundly adjusted," 3 = "relevant with some adjustment as to phrasing," and 4 = "very relevant." The CVI was applied, and the accepted value was ≥0.50.Results: Three rounds of evaluation were required to achieve the minimum index.The items were reviewed for content and face validity. The instrument was validated with 86 items with a total CVI of 0.90, a face validity of 1, and a scale-level content validity index/universal agreement calculation method (S-CVI/UA) value of 0.813. Conclusion:This instrument can help nurses, doctors, academics, and students assess patients in intensive care units.

“…The data collection tool was a questionnaire for assessing the nurses' knowledge about the standards of CVP measurement using the water manometer and was designed based on reliable sources (Roberts, 2018; Sole et al, 2017; Urden et al, 2018). The nurses' knowledge questionnaire had 11 multiple‐choice questions.…”

Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of using a performance checklist on knowledge and satisfaction of intensive care nurses. Method This study was a quasi‐experimental study and performed on 70 intensive care nurses in two groups. Performance checklists had to be filled by the nurses in experiment group during central venous pressure (CVP) measurement procedure. Knowledge and the nurses about standards of CVP measurement and their satisfaction were evaluated in both groups by a researcher‐made questionnaire. The data were analysed using the SPSS software. Results In the experiment group, the level of knowledge significantly increased after the intervention ( p = .001) and the majority of nurses (85.7%) had a high level of satisfaction. Also, there was a significant difference between mean knowledge scores of the two groups after the intervention ( p = .006). Conclusion This showed that applying performance checklists can influence nurses' knowledge and should consider a simple indirect educational method.

“…ICP may be measured via catheters using fluidfilled systems or fibre-optic devices. Infection risk is higher with fluid-filled systems (Hartshorn and Gauthier, 2001), but fibre-optic systems cannot be recalibrated once in place, and 'drift' occurs after 4-5 days (Waldmann and Thyveetil, 1998).…”

This article aims to review the current evidence in relation to acute head injury care. Head injuries are a frequent cause of death and disability in western society with the first 72 h being an important period for prevention of further brain damage. The underlying physiology behind head injury and intracranial pressure will be discussed. The monitoring of intracranial pressure and implications for practice will be addressed. The specialized nursing care and drug therapy management that is necessary for acute head injury patients will be highlighted. Recommendations for practice will be given.
