Popis: Aim To determine whether a literature-based guideline, powered by educational meetings and individual feedback, improves manual hyperinflation (MH) performance by intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. Background MH is frequently applied in intubated and mechanically ventilated ICU patients. MH is a complex intervention, and large variation in its performance has been found. Materials and methods First, a literature-based guideline on MH was developed. The intervention consisted of education of this guideline and individual feedback. Before and 3 months after the intervention, ICU nurses performed MH maneuvers in a skills laboratory. Data collected included applied volumes, peak inspiratory flows (PIF) and peak expiratory flows (PEF), and the use of inspiratory holds. Results Eighty nurses participated. Decrease of PIF was not statistically significant. PEF increased from 52 ± 7 to 83 ± 23 L/min (P
