PICO Case Scenarios Case Scenario #1 – Head Position and Pneumonia Reduction You work in the Big City Hospital ICU. Your mechanically ventilated patients sometimes contract nosocomial pneumonia, which leads to costly complications. At the next Evidence-Based Nursing Practice Committee meeting, you discuss this case. The committee decides to do a case study to determine if there is evidence to suggest that raising the head of the bed lowers the chance of the patient contracting pneumonia compared to letting the patient lie flat on their back.
