Hypothermia in surgical patients on admission to a postoperative ICU
Too many patients had hypothermia both on admission, and one hour after admission, to a postoperative intensive care unit. Elderly patients and those who had undergone laparoscopic surgery were particularly at risk.
Registered nurses’ experiences and the challenges they face in relation to peripheral venous cannulation
It can be almost impossible to insert a needle in the case of some patients. Moreover, registered nurses have many work tasks to carry out at the same time in different places, and this can reduce concentration.
Readmission of patients to the intensive care unit – a case-control study
Readmitted patients are older, but their mortality rate is almost equal to that of non-readmitted patients. Patients readmitted within 72 hours are more likely to have an incomplete written transfer report.
Midwifery practices in the prevention of prolonged labour: a clinical audit

Surgical patients are exposed to heat loss, which can lead to complications such as increased oxygen demand, higher infection risk and cardiovascular problems.
Nurses are better equipped for evidence-based practice following postgraduate study
Nurses are better at using their professional knowledge and applying research in their work following postgraduate study in evidence-based practice (EBP). Their belief in the value of such work also increases.
