| dc.description.abstract | In the paced environment of care units (ICUs) a team of healthcare professionals works together to deliver top notch care to patients. Medical devices are vital, in ensuring patient monitoring, treatment and support in ICUs. However their use can also bring about risks and potential adverse events. The goal of this research is to assess the level of awareness among ICU nurses in Saudi Arabia regarding the reporting of events linked to devices. By exploring how often these incidents are reported and the obstacles faced in reporting them we aim to pinpoint areas where improvements can be made to enhance safety in ICUs. Additionally we will Compare two peer reviewed research papers from journals to gain a comprehensive insight into current practices and recommendations for reporting adverse events, in ICU settings. | |
