Abstract
Invasive procedures are essential elements of patient care in intensive care units (ICUs), frequently utilizing medical equipment such as central venous catheters, endotracheal tubes, and mechanical ventilators. These operations, although life-saving, have considerable dangers, including infections, human error, and other problems that may prolong ICU admissions and elevate fatality rates. This study sought to examine the competence of ICU medical personnel during invasive procedures, determine the prevalence and nature of problems, and evaluate patient perceptions on the informed consent process. The study, conducted at Al-Khums Teaching Hospital and Tripoli University Hospital, employed a cross-sectional questionnaire directed at 44 ICU physicians and surveyed patients to collect data on demographic features, procedural knowledge, complications, and informed consent practices. The findings indicated a significant degree of knowledge and excellent practice among staff, with 84.09% exhibiting skill in airway suction and central line maintenance. Infections (75%) and human errors, including invasive device dislodgment (38.6%), were prevalent consequences. The study also identified deficiencies in the informed consent procedure, since numerous patients expressed a desire for additional information regarding risks and treatment options. The findings highlight the necessity for ongoing training for ICU personnel, consistent protocols for invasive treatments, and enhanced communication during informed consent to improve the quality and safety of patient care.
