Standardised simulation-based emergency and intensive care nursing curriculum to improve nursing students ’ performance during simulated resuscitation: A quasi-experimental study
Nursing students lack actual resuscitation experience, but are required to learn resuscitation skills during their education. Once they graduate and assume clinical positions, they are expected to participate in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for cardiac arrests (Cook et al., 2012; Sullivan et al., 2015). It is suggested that the nursing curriculum should incorporate elements of resuscitation at an early stage of students ’ education, in order to build confidence and provide preparation for this important skill in clinical practice (Abe et al., 2013; De Buck et al., 2015; Ramm et al., 2015).

Candida burn wound sepsis: The “holy trinity” of management
Over the past few decades, survival following severe burn injury has been substantially improved with fatal outcome nearly exclusively observed among the elderly, patient with extreme (>85%) total burnt surface area or patients suffering from inhalation injury necessitating mechanical ventilation (Ryan et al., 1998; Brusselaers et al., 2005; Belgian Outcome in Burn Injury Study Group, 2009). The more severely burned cases are especially at risk of additional complications, adding substantial morbidity. (Source: Intensive and Critical Care Nursing)

The NASA Task Load Index as a measure of overall workload among neonatal, paediatric and adult intensive care nurses
The NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) is a subjective workload assessment scale developed for use in aviation and increasingly applied to healthcare. The scale purports to measure overall workload as a single variable calculated by summing responses to six items. Since no data address the validity of this scoring approach in health care, we evaluated the single factor structure of the NASA-TLX as a measure of overall workload among intenisive care nurses.

What was I thinking? Decision making and its impact on outcomes, quality improvement, and research
The health care system is becoming increasingly more complex and challenging requiring nurses to constantly improve their critical thinking and decision making skills in order to ensure patient safety. As nurses we make countless decisions every day. In the critical care unit these many decisions impact how care is delivered to each patient and the ultimate outcomes they will attain. How do you evaluate your thinking so you know you are making the best decision in each and every situation? (Source: Intensive and Critical Care Nursing)

Dilemmas in infection control in the intensive care unit
Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are at a particular risk for infection with multidrug resistant micro-organisms because they experience high severity of acute illness, present with predisposing underlying conditions, are exposed to a plethora of invasive procedures and are at the extremes of age, either neonatal or very old (Depuydt et al., 2006; Blot, 2008; Blot et al., 2014b; Verstraete et al., 2015; Afonso and Blot, 2017). Healthcare-associated infection and multidrug resistance are a major concern in ICUs as it is associated with considerable morbidity and possibly mortality (Blot et al., 2002, 2003; Verstraete et a...
