Intracranial surgery means any surgery performed inside the skull or cranium to treat problems in the brain and surrounding structures. Aim: Evaluate the impact of nursing educational program on reducing or preventing postoperative complications for patients after intracranial surgery. Subjects and methods: Sixty adult patients after intracranial surgery (burr hole, craniotomy and craniectomy). Their age ranged from18-65 years old, fully conscious, both sexes. Patients divided into two groups; control group (30 patients who received routine care) and study group (30 patients who received nursing educational program). Three tools were used for data collection; tool I patient assessment sheet, tool II nursing educational program after intracranial surgery and tool III patient evaluation sheet. Results: A good improvement in total knowledge scores of study group patients after application of nursing educational program. Significant reduction and/or prevention of systemic and neurosurgical postoperative complications for study group patients after application of nursing educational program. Conclusion: Improving patients` knowledge in study group had a favorable effect in reducing or preventing systemic and neurosurgical postoperative complications than in control group. Recommendation: Establishment of health care educational center in neurosurgery department to educate patients about their conditions.

Critically ill patients with acute renal failure who are receiving dialysis therapy may suffer from many complications that can be decreased by using bicarbonate dialysate during dialysis sessions. Aim: this study was carried out to compare between the hemodialized acute renal failure patientsusing bicarbonate versus acetate dialysate ondeveloping complications. Design: descriptive comparative designutilized in this study. Setting: This study was carried out at the kidney dialysisunit, Assiut University Hospital. Subjects Sixty adult male and female critically ill patients with acute renal failure who are admitted to the kidney dialysis unit (how many using bicarbonate and how many using acetate and how you selected them).Tool:“hemodialysis patient observational and monitoring tool” was used to monitor and record the personal and medical data needed for this study by the researcher.Methods: Interview, observation and reviewing patient`s records were utilized to collect data pertinent to the study. Each patient was monitored closely ten minutes before connection to the dialysis machine, during the dialysis session and ten minutes after disconnection, three times per week for two successive weeks. Results: The patients on the acetate group had experienced many problems (tachycardia, hypotension and dyspnea). There was a significant statistical difference between both groups with (p value=0.001). Conclusion: the group of patients on bicarbonate dialysate during dialysis sessions was found to experience lesser problems than acetate dialysis group.

Critically ill patients with acute renal failure who receiving the dialysis therapy were suffered from many complication: dialysate during hemodialysis session. Aim: this study was carried out to investigate the effect of nursing guidelines for Complications of acetate and bicarbonate Solutions during hemodialysis among acute renal failure patients, Assuit University Hospital. Design: Quasi experimental design. Setting: This study was carried out at hemodialysis unit, ICUs Assuit University Hospital. Subjects: Sixty adult male and female critically ill patients with acute renal failure who are admitted to hemodialysis unit. Tools: Two tools were developed by the researcher and used in this study which are; tool I: Personal and medical data sheet and hemodialysis, tool II: Hemodialysis complications assessment sheet. Methods: Interview, observation and reviewing patient`s records where utilized to collect data pertinent to the study. Each patient was monitored closely and give nursing care for ten minutes before connection, during the dialysis session and ten minutes after disconnection from dialysis machine three times per week for two successive weeks. Results: The acetate groups had experienced many complications rather than bicarbonate. There was a significant statistical difference between both groups with (p value=0.001). The complications developed where, hypotension, chest pain, dysrhythmia, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, headache, pruritus. Conclusion: Nursing care reduces complications for both groups acetate and bicarbonate dialysis documented lesser complications in bicarbonate than acetate group. Recommendation: Replication of this research on a larger probability sample acquired from different geographical areas in the Arab republic of Egypt.
