Clinical value of pulmonary ultrasound training for nurses in intensive care unit
Objective To investigate the clinical value of intensive care unit(ICU)nurse training and the application of pulmonary ultrasound in evaluating severe pneumonia.Methods A total of 20 ICU nurses in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from September 2021 to March 2023 were taken as the research objects,and they were divided into the pre-training and the post-training group according to the implementation time of pulmonary ultrasound technology training for severe pneumonia.The knowledge of pulmonary ultrasound and the detection situation of pulmonary signs in patients with severe pneumonia were compared between the nurses before and after training.Results After training,ICU nurses'basic knowledge of pulmonary ultrasound technology and the scores of pattern recognition of pneumonia signs were all higher than those before the training,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The recognition accuracies of ICU nurses for various pulmonary signs were all higher than those before training,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion Trained ICU nurses have certain professional knowledge of pulmonary ultrasound technology,and can accurately assess the lung by using ultrasound,monitor the pulmonary condition in real time,and enhance the detection accuracy of pulmonary signs,thus guiding the clinical nursing of patients with severe pneumonia,with relatively higher clinical value in early warning and intervention of diseases.
