Core Tip

Core Tip: The emergency department (ED) serves as a critical setting for establishing artificial airways and implementing mechanical ventilation. Managing airbags in the ED presents a prime opportunity to mitigate the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Research findings reveal that ED nurses generally harbor a positive attitude toward airbag management, and their practical behaviors are moderately standardized. Nevertheless, there remains a need for enhancing their knowledge levels. This study offers theoretical underpinning for delivering pertinent training and fostering the development of specialized nursing programs tailored to ED settings. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity for implementing targeted improvement strategies.
