Objective:To gain an in-depth understanding of the career development of male nurses in China, analyze trends, challenges, and opportunities, and provide a basis for policy-making, talent cultivation, and professional development in the nursing field.Methods:A descriptive qualitative research method was adopted. From March 29th to July 30th, 2023, the heads of the male nurses working groups of nursing associations in 26 regions of China were selected by purposive sampling method for semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was used to analyze the data.Results:The current situation of the career development of male nurses in China could be summarized into the following three themes. (1) Current situation: the organizational structure of provincial-level male nurses work was basically complete, but there were obvious differences at the grassroots level; the work was carried out in various forms, and diverse models developed in coordination; (2) Trends: there were obvious stratifications in professional ideology and professional abilities of male nurses among different regions and different-level medical institutions; the gender dividend was gradually decreasing, and male nurses should give play to their advantages in logical thinking ability; (3) Prospects: early intervention was needed to enhance professional identity and organizational support; male nurses should be trained in various aspects through multiple forms such as counterpart assistance, expert databases or online academic forums; interdisciplinary development might be the key to stimulating internal driving force.Conclusions:Significant progress has been made in the career development of male nurses in China, but there are still challenges and issues to address. Further improvements in related policies, enhancement of social recognition and professional status, and increased investment and support in research and education are needed to promote the sustained development of male nursing careers.

Central venous pressure(CVP)is a commonly used hemodynamic index in clinical practice,and the accuracy of its measurement results is influenced by the measurement technical specifications.Based on research evidence and clinical practice,this article interprets the main content of the group standard of CVP measurement technology,and proposes suggestions for its use.It aims to guide clinical nursing staff to correctly understand the principles and methods of CVP measurement,and promote the standardization of nursing practice and the accuracy of measurement results.

The department of critical care medicine, the clinical base of critical care medicine, is the centralized management unit for the treatment of critical patients. Medicine and nursing are independent disciplines, but both can be fully utilized from different perspectives when dealing with critically ill patients. With the development of critical care medicine understanding and technology, the concept of doctor-nurse integration construction in the department of critical care medicine has emerged. Doctor-nurse integration construction in the department of critical care medicine needs to take severe diseases as the core and academic development as the orientation. Clinical practice should be carried out through medical cooperation, based on critical cognition and unified thinking mode.

To apply electrical impedance tomography (EIT) technology to assess the lung regional ventilation distribution in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after a cardiac surgery, and to analyze its value of predicting patients' short-term prognosis.

Objective The risk evaluation indicators for the occurrence of diaphragm dysfunction in ICU patients was constructed to provide a reference for the establishment of the disease risk evaluation tools for diaphragm dysfunction.Methods The literature related to diaphragm dysfunction from CNKI,Wanfang Data,PubMed,Embase and Web of Science from the establishment of databases to November 11 th,2022 was systematically searched.After the first draft was determined through the literature review method,the first draft of the indicators was revised by brainstorming,with the opinions of 10 medical and nursing experts from May to June 2023.From June to July 2023,the content and weight of risk evaluation indicators of diaphragmatic dysfunction in ICU patients were determined through expert letter inquiry and hierarchical analysis.Results 35 experts completed the first round of letter inquiry,and 34 experts completed the second round of letter inquiry.The recovery rates of the valid questionnaires in the 2 rounds of expert correspondence were 92.1％and 97.1％,respectively,and the expert authority coefficients were 0.884 and 0.904,respectively,and the Kendall harmony coefficients of all indicators were 0.356～0.570 and 0.369～0.604,respectively(all P＜0.001).The final constructed risk evaluation indicators of diaphragm dysfunction in ICU patients includes 7 first-level indicators,34 secondary indicators and 34 tertiary indicators.Conclusion The risk evaluation index of diaphragm dysfunction in ICU patients constructed in this study is comprehensive,specific,scientific and applicable,which can guide medical staff to conduct early risk evaluation of diaphragm function in ICU patients,and provide references for the establishment of disease risk assessment tools for diaphragm function.

Objective:To comprehensively search and summarize the evidence on critical ultrasound nursing practice training courses, with the aim of providing a basis for critical ultrasound nursing practice training.Methods:Taking the evidence-based clinical translation model of Fudan University Centre for Evidence-based Nursing as the theoretical framework, the evidence was retrieved, evaluated, and summarized to determine the evidence to be introduced into clinical practice, forming a training program for critical ultrasound nursing practice. From July to August 2023, 25 experts from 10 provinces/municipalities across the country were selected for two rounds of consultation to determine the practical training course system for critical ultrasound nursing.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, including one clinical decision, nine expert consensus, and four systematic reviews. In the two rounds of consultation, the positive coefficients of experts were 90.0% (27/30) and 92.6% (25/27), the authority coefficients of experts were 0.956 and 0.964, and the coefficients of Kendall's harmony were 0.303 and 0.350 ( P<0.01), respectively. The final practical training course system for critical ultrasound nursing included five first-level indicators, 25 second-level indicators, and 67 third-level indicators. Conclusions:Ultrasound examination is a complex skill. The construction method of the practical training course system for critical ultrasound nursing is scientific, reasonable, with strong practicality in content, which can provide reference for the development and evaluation of critical ultrasound nursing training courses.
