Summary
Simulation training improved clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) skills in two young girls. Performance accuracy increased and completion time decreased after the training intervention.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nursing
- Medical Simulation
- Urological Procedures
Background:
- Clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) is a crucial skill for managing certain pediatric urological conditions.
- Effective training methods are essential for ensuring patient competence and independence.
Observation:
- The study assessed the impact of simulation-based training on CISC performance in two pediatric patients.
- A multiple baseline design was employed to evaluate the training's effectiveness.
Findings:
- Simulation training led to a significant increase in the accuracy of CISC procedures for both participants.
- The latency, or time taken to complete the procedure, was markedly reduced post-training.
Implications:
- Simulation training offers a viable and effective method for teaching CISC to pediatric patients.
- This approach can enhance patient self-efficacy and potentially improve long-term urological health outcomes.

01:29Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

01:23Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure
Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...
01:27Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

01:25Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

01:26Cardiac Catheterization IV: Nursing Management
Nursing responsibilities before cardiac catheterization include:Assess for allergies and establish baseline health status.Before cardiac catheterization, assess the patient for allergies to contrast dye. Perform a comprehensive baseline assessment, including vital signs, heart and breath sounds, and a neurovascular assessment of the extremities, noting distal pulses, skin color, and temperature. Instruct the patient to fast for 8-12 hours before the procedure. Evaluate baseline laboratory...
