It has become a standard measure in recent years to utilise evidence-based practice, which is associated with a greater need to implement and use advanced, reliable methods of summarising the achievements of various scientific disciplines, including such highly specialised approaches as personalised medicine. The aim of this paper was to discuss the current state of knowledge related to improvements in “nursing” involving management of delirium in intensive care units during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This narrative review summarises the current knowledge concerning the challenges associated with assessment of delirium in patients with COVID-19 by ICU nurses, and the role and tasks in the personalised approach to patients with COVID-19.

Zakażenia ran/owrzodzeń przewlekłych są wywoływane przez biofilm tworzony przez drobnoustroje. Trudności w terapii zainfekowanych ran wynikają ze szczególnej tolerancji biofilmu na czynniki środowiskowe, środki przeciwdrobnoustrojowe oraz aktywność układu immunologicznego. Obserwowany w ostatnich latach wzrost odsetka pacjentów z ranami i owrzodzeniami przewlekłymi wskazuje na potrzebę zmiany schematów postępowania i ustalenia zasad działania, również ze względów ekonomicznych. Właściwe przygotowanie rany do leczenia ma kluczowe znaczenie w kontekście oczekiwanych efektów.

Introduction. The nursing profession in Poland is subject to continuous transformations, but it should follow the directions based on the common framework for the development of specialist nursing, drawn up by international specialist nurses associations in Europe. A change in the nursing education system in Poland has provided an opportunity for progress based on consistent framework. Summary. Nurse education organised in a system of first cycle and second cycle university courses was a milestone towards improving the status of the nursing profession. The improved position of Polish nurses paved the way for further advancements in this profession and in the related scientific research, which in the past was rarely conducted by Polish nurses; today more and more research teams are launched and operate both at universities and in nurses’ scientific associations.

Rapid Sequence Intubation is one of most commonly applied procedures for trauma patient in emergency practice such as Medical Rescue Service as Emergency Hospital Ward, but in the case of patients with maxillofacial trauma it is usually complicated. Firstly the trauma directly involves the airway, but also the commonly associated injuries and conditions, such as craniocelebrar injuries often limit the options in management. The aim of this article is to describe rapid sequence intubation protocol for this group of critical injured patients. (JNNN 2016;5(1):28–30)
