Abstract
arterial cannulation is a common invasive operation in the intensive care unit, used for a variety of reasons. nursing care is crucial for patients undergoing arterial cannulation in order to guarantee patient safety and minimize complications,. Aim: -Assess the impact of nursing interventions on patients in the intensive care unit who have arterial cannulation. Design: is quasi-experimental. Setting: Tanta Main University's New Surgeries Hospital's intensive care unit served as the study's site. Subjects: A purposeful sample of 60 adult patients undergoing arterial catheterization was split into two equal groups. The study group was overseen by a nursing intervention protocol created and carried out by the researcher, while the control group received standard care from the surgical intensive care unit nursing staff. Tools: -An arterial cannulation complications assessment tool and a critically ill patient assessment tool were also utilized. Results: Vascular complications and pain intensity were significantly different between the two groups. After arterial catheter removal, there was a significant decrease in peripheral ischemia consequences in the study group as compared to the control group (mean score of 2.00±1.45 vs. 8.10±2.05, respectively). Additionally, the study group experienced much less pain than the control group, with mean scores of 0.00±0.00 and 3.47±0.937, respectively. Conclusions: Clinical outcomes for patients with arterial cannulation improved as a result of the nursing interventions strategy. Recommendations: Nursing Interventions Protocol should be carried out as a routine care for patients at Intensive Care Units, as there was a significant improvement in the study group in decreasing vascular complications.
