Enhanced Moisture‐Focused, Nurse‐Led Oral Care Improves Oral Health and Suppresses Bacterial Overgrowth in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients: A Quasi‐Experimental Study

Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In Japan, no standardised, evidence‐based oral care protocol independent of chlorhexidine (CHX) exists, despite its importance in preventing ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) and post‐extubation dysphagia (PED) among mechanically ventilated patients.

Feasibility and Acceptability of a Patient‐ and Family‐Oriented Approach to Pain Assessment in the Intensive Care Unit

Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Family caregivers (i.e., family members, close friends) may be able to help assess pain in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, suitable methods for family caregivers to assess pain in the ICU have yet to be identified. Aim To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of independently collecting patient and family caregiver

Influence of Music on Cortisol Levels in Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review

Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Music has been proposed as a simple, non‐invasive intervention to modulate stress responses in patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Its potential impact on cortisol levels represents a promising approach to mitigating physiological stress in intensive care.

Oxygen Stewardship in Adult Critical Care: A Quality Improvement Initiative

Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Oxygen therapy is commonly administered in critical care, yet patients frequently receive oxygen above recommended saturation targets. Excessive oxygen exposure may contribute to avoidable harm and unnecessary resource use. Despite guideline recommendations, reliable adherence to oxygen titration targets in routine intensive care ...

The Effect of Family Voice Interventions on Delirium Incidence and Duration in Adult ICU Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Delirium is a common and serious complication in patients on intensive care units (ICUs). Family voice interventions may support orientation, reduce sensory deprivation and mitigate delirium, but their efficacy remains unclear.

Moderate maternal nutrient restriction alters type II alveolar epithelial cell density in the non‐human primate fetal lung

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 5, Page 2713-2728, 1 May 2026.
Abstract Restriction of fetal substrate supply has an adverse effect on surfactant maturation in the lung and thus affects the transition from in utero placental oxygenation to pulmonary ventilation ex utero. However, the consequences of reduced fetal substrate supply are dependent on the timing of gestation, severity and duration.
