Abstract

A ventilator bundle is a straightforward set of three to five evidence-based practices that should be done collectively and
reliably to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes. Most ventilator bundle measures are closely related to
nursing interventions. Hence, critical care nurses must have ongoing and periodical training programs on ventilator
bundle. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of implementing ventilator bundle training sessions on critical care
nurses’ practice. Method: A quasi-experimental one-group (pre-post-test) design was used on 30 nurses who were
working in the intensive care units allocated in a University hospital in Egypt. Data were collected by using one tool:
Nurses' practice of ventilator bundle observational checklist. Results: The mean nurses' practice scores were improved
post-implementation of the training sessions compared with pre-training with highly statistically significant differences
(P <0.001). Conclusion: The implementation of the ventilator bundle training sessions can improve critical care nurses’
practice of mechanically ventilated patient care. Recommendations: Continuous in-service training programs on
ventilator bundle should be organized for critical care nurses to enhance their performance and keep them up-to-date and competent.
