Effectiveness of an Evidence-Based Respiratory and Renal Care Training With Case-Based Discussion on Nurses' Clinical Reasoning, Knowledge & Practice, Nurse-Physician Collaboration and Mechanically Ventilated Patient Outcomes in a Tertiary-Level ICU in Bangladesh
Sponsor: Hiroshima University
Summary
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence-based respiratory and renal care training program combined with case-based discussion on nurses' clinical reasoning, knowledge \& practice, nurse-physician collaboration, as well as selected clinical outcomes among mechanically ventilated patients in a tertiary-level ICU in Bangladesh. The intervention will provide structured education and practical training to ICU nurses on evidence-based respiratory and renal care for mechanically ventilated patients. Case-based discussions will be conducted to promote clinical reasoning, evidence-based decision-making, and nurse-physician collaboration during daily ICU rounds. Nurses' outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention, focusing on clinical reasoning, knowledge, practice, and nurse-physician collaboration. Patient outcomes will be assessed using historical pre-intervention data and post-intervention data among eligible mechanically ventilated ICU patients, focusing on ventilator-associated events (VAE), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU length of stay, and ICU mortality. The study is intended to determine whether evidence-based respiratory and renal care training with case-based discussion can improve ICU nurses' clinical reasoning, knowledge, practice, nurse-physician collaboration and contribute to improved outcomes among mechanically ventilated patients.

Interventions
evidence-based respiratory and renal care training with case-based discussion
The intervention will be provided over 2 months period. The evidence-based respiratory and renal care training will address respiratory assessment and monitoring, oxygen therapy and airway care, mechanical ventilation basics and ventilator care bundle practices, sedation, weaning and early mobilization, renal assessment and early detection of AKI based on kidney disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, AKI prevention \& Renal Care Bundle, fluid balance and hemodynamic monitoring, Electrolyte \& Acid-Base Management. During daily ICU rounds, 10-15-minute bedside case discussions will be conducted for each mechanically ventilated ICU patients. An ICU consultant will facilitate the discussion using the ISBAR framework, involving the bedside nurse and other ICU team members. Each discussion will focus on the patient's current clinical condition, respiratory and renal assessment, interpretation of clinical findings, evidence-based care decisions, and appropriate management.
