Abstract
Background: Applying of ventilator bundle of care according to evidence-based practice guidelines are expected to improve weaning, provide quality of care, and reduce the risk of complications with ventilated patients. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of applying a bundle of care on weaning among mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care and cardiac care units. Subjects and Method: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized. A purposive sample of 60 mechanically ventilated patients at both insurance hospitals (Al-Salam) in Port Said governorate and health ministry hospital (Sherbin central) in Dakahlia governorate’s critical care unit and cardiac care unit/Egypt. Tools: three tools were used, first tool includes personal characteristics of the patients and, patient’s medical history, second tool is Ventilator bundle compliance checklist and the third tool is Burns’ Wean Assessment Program (BWAP) scores. Results: This study revealed improvement in patients weaning from mechanical ventilators after using care bundle though out the ventilation days. Additionally, there was a statistically significant correlation between the studied patients’ total Burns’ weaning assessment and compliance with ventilator care bundle of the studied patients with p-value of <0.01. Conclusion: It can conclude that the compliance with ventilator bundle of care for mechanical ventilated patients have higher weaning scores and shorter duration on mechanical ventilator.
