| Abstract | ||
| Background: Critical care patients typically need a central venous line (CVL) for blood and fluid delivery and pressure monitoring. Nurses must understand CVL maintenance to avoid catheter issues and identify issues. Safety and improved patient outcomes derive from this expertise. Aim of the study: to evaluate nurses’ knowledge and practice concerning care of CVL in intensive care unit. Subjects and method: The descriptive research was conducted at the critical care units of El Salam Hospital, El-Zohour Hospital, and El Hayat Hospital, all affiliated with the Egypt Health Care Authority and situated in the Port Said Governorate of Egypt. A convenience sample of sixty-five nurses was utilised, comprising those available from the specified locations.Tools: Data was collected utilizing two tools: a knowledge assessment questionnaire with demographic information, nurses' comprehension of central lines, blood stream infections (BSI), and care components. Nursing Practice Observational Checklist. Results: The study found that most intensive care units staff nurses lack center venous line management skills and practices. A substantial positive association was found between nurses' center venous line care knowledge and practices. Conclusion: intensive care units nurses lack of center venous line care knowledge and practice. Recommendations: The study suggests continued center venous line education and training for intensive care units staff. | ||
