Abstract: Background: The aim of endotracheal tube (ETT) suctioning in patients under mechanical ventilation is keeping the airways open through removal of accumulated pulmonary secretions (1). Although ETT suctioning is a vital procedure, it may results in complications such as discomfort, infection, bleeding, tracheal mucosal injury, and increase in intracranial pressure, atelectasis, cardiac dysrhythmia, and hemodynamic changes in patients (2 3) Nowadays two methods are used for ETT suctioning. The most common method in Iran is open system suctioning method, which need participation of two nurses and may lead to temporary disruption of ventilation and oxygen supply due.....

Abstract: The reduction and elimination of pregnancy-related mortality remain a challenge in most low income countries. For this reason, many African countries have either reduced or eliminated delivery fees to promote health facility delivery service utilization. Healthcare seeking behavior is a central issue in service delivery. Cost has been highlighted as a major hindrance to utilization of medical services especially among the poor people. It has been shown that removal or reduction of user fees results to increased utilization of services. However, some studies have shown the opposite to be true. Following the free maternity services policy in Kenya, uninterrupted time series study was conducted in Nakuru County referral hospital to examine the effects of the policy on utilization of maternity....
