Why the study?
Nurses in critical care often monitor arterial pressure without sufficient understanding of invasive pressure monitoring fundamentals, impacting patient care accuracy and safety.
Does the implementation of an arterial blood pressure monitoring guideline improve the knowledge and practice of critical care nurses?
Does the implementation of an arterial blood pressure monitoring guideline improve the knowledge and practice of critical care nurses?
Mean Difference: 13.62
Absolute Event Rate: 19.4% vs 5.78%
p-value: p=<0.001
Implementation of a structured guideline significantly improved critical care nurses' knowledge and practical skills regarding invasive arterial pressure monitoring.
Guideline implementation boosted nurse IBP practice scores from 11.13 to 14.46; supports standardized training but leaves open need for randomized confirmation.

Biswas et al. (2025) studied Knowledge and practice on invasive arterial pressure monitoring (n=100). Arterial blood pressure monitoring guideline vs. Pre-intervention (baseline) was evaluated on Knowledge score on arterial pressure monitoring (Mean difference 13.62, p=<0.001). Implementation of an arterial blood pressure monitoring guideline significantly improved critical care nurses' mean knowledge scores from 5.78 to 19.40 (p<0.001).
