“…They constitute a major portion (38%) of human resources within India's health care system. 14 There is no doubt that nursing officers' competencies play a crucial role in critical care settings. Best practices and preventive measures are important aspects of nursing care for patients who receive mechanical ventilation while experiencing a life-threatening illness.…”

The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of simulation-based training (SBT) of a ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) bundle of care on the knowledge and practice of nursing officers working in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and its impact on the incidence of VAP. This study was a single-center, pre- and postsimulation-based educational interventional tool conducted in a six-bed PICU located in Western Rajasthan, India. Thirty nursing officers working in the PICU participated in the study. Baseline knowledge and practice regarding VAP bundle of care were assessed using a questionnaire and practice checklist. It was followed by 1:1 SBT of the VAP bundle of care following which all participants were immediately reassessed and then again at 3 months postintervention. The incidence of VAP (events/1,000 ventilation days) was subsequently compared both at 6 months pre- and postintervention. Thirty nursing officers participated in the study of which 63% were male. Baseline knowledge and practice increased significantly immediately after the VAP bundle of care training and then again at 3 months in comparison to preintervention testing (baseline 20.27 ± 4.51, immediate postintervention 26.0 ± 3.67, 3 months postintervention 23.97 ± 4.69). The incidence of VAP showed a declining trend from 46.1 to 36.5/1,000 ventilation days; however, this finding was not statistically significant (p = 0.22). The simulation-based teaching program significantly enhanced nursing officers' knowledge and practice toward utilization of a preventive VAP bundle of care. There was decay in knowledge with time indicating that repetitive sessions are required at regular intervals to sustain this effect.

In many ways, male and female breast cancers are similar, but do have some notable differences. Although the underlying etiology of male breast cancer may be partially due to hormonal or environmental changes, this disease is rare compared to female breast cancer. Most often, it presents as a painless lump, with estrogen receptor-positive infiltrating ductal carcinoma being the most common pathologic type. The main component of local therapy is either a radical or a modified radical mastectomy, with adjuvant chemotherapy proving useful. Estrogen receptor-positive tumors respond well to hormonal therapy. More research is needed in order to: (1) further characterize the molecular biological properties of male breast cancer tumors, (2) further investigate the role of adjuvant chemotherapy, and define successful regimens, and (3) determine optimal chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of metastatic disease. As this disease is a relatively rare condition, whenever possible, all patients should be allowed to participate in national cooperative group studies.
