Core Tip

Core Tip: This retrospective analysis highlights the crucial role of nursing team communication and collaboration in improving treatment outcomes for severe pneumonia patients in intensive care units. Enhanced interaction among nurses led to significantly better improvements in respiratory mechanics, blood gas parameters, and reduced inflammation markers (C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, cortisol, and high mobility group protein B1) compared to single-handed care, emphasizing the value of teamwork in critical care settings.
