Abstract
Objective To investigate the situation of nurses′ knowledge related to artificial airway gasbag pressure monitoring technology from ICU of Guangdong province as well as providing evidence for the standardization of the artificial airway gasbag pressure monitoring. Methods We used the questionnaire to investigate knowledge related to the artificial airway ballonet pressure monitoring technology among 250 nurses from 28 ICU 16 hospitals in Guangdong province. Results There was only 58.92% ICU nursed having the systematical training related artificial airway gasbag pressure monitoring; the knowledge mastery of artificial airway gasbag pressure monitoring among nurses with low seniority, low occupational title and low educational background had statistical significance with people who acquired high seniority, high occupational title and high educational background (t=2.75, 7.93, 2.37; P<0.05); the general nurses related knowledge mastery of artificial airway gasbag pressure monitoring was better than ICU nurses (t=2.41, P<0.05). There was 73.44% ICU used artificial airway gasbag pressure monitoring and 26.56% of them still applied estimated method for artificial airway gasbag pressure monitoring. The sustainable artificial airway gasbag pressure monitoring was not yet carried out in the hospitals. Conclusions The cognition of ICU nurses from Guangdong province on the artifical airway ballonet pressure monitoring should be improved, and they required intensive training and monitoring.
