Efficacy of Intermittent and Continuous Subglottic Secretion Drainage in Preventing the Risk of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Control Trials.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is hospital-acquired pneumonia that develops 48 h or longer following mechanical ventilation. However, cuff pressure fluctuates significantly due to patient or tube movement, which might result in microaspiration. Subglottic secretion drainage (SSD) has been suggested as a method for VAP prevention bundles. ⋯ The secondary endpoints showed that there was no significant difference in mortality (RR 1.02; 95% CI; 0.87-1.20; p = 0.83), but there were substantial differences in ICU stays (mean difference, 3.42 days; 95% CI; 2.07-4.76; p < 0.00001) in favor of the SSD group. This was based on a very low certainty of evidence due to concerns linked to the risk of bias and inconsistency. The use of SSD was associated with a reduction in VAP incidence and ICU stay length, but there was no significant difference in the mortality rate.

The real experience of patients after liver transplantation in intensive care unit.
We aimed to explore the real experience of patients after liver transplantation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Objective sampling method was used to select patients transferred to the ICU in 10 hospitals in Zhuhai from May 2018 to August 2020. Patients need liver transplantation due to advanced liver cancer and decompensated cirrhosis. ⋯ Hospitalization experience in the ICU may lead to many negative experiences for liver transplant patients. Nurses should fully understand and pay attention to the psychological changes in patients. Nurses should take effective targeted measures to reduce or eliminate patients' fear of ICU stay and promote rehabilitation.
