Background: "Children's health is tomorrow's wealth" is one of the World Health Organization (WHO)'s slogans of recent years. Birth weight is generally used as a yardstick of maturity and is an important determinant of child survival and development. Its rates 17 million infants born are with low birth weight. Neonatal hypothermia after birth is a worldwide issue across all climates. Apart from all the alternative measures, polyethylene cap was highly effectiveness to prevent hypothermia among low birth weight babies.
Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of polyethylene cap on hypothermia among low birth weight babies.
Design: Quasi-experimental design, where Pre and Posttest with control Group design was used.
Participants: 30 low birth weight babies were included in the study.
Methods: Convenient sampling technique was used in the study. Experimental group polyethylene cap was applied for an hour to low birth weight babies. Results: The data was obtained by using a demographic proforma and hypothermia scale for low birth weight babies, 100% of babies were in need of urgent attention, and 100% were in non urgent and vital parameters are stable in experimental group. The calculated unpaired' test value showed that there is significant effectiveness of polyethylene cap (t=35.2, tv=2.042) on hypothermia among low birth weight babies. After intervention Results showed in control group
Conclusion: Polyethylene cap is an effective intervention to reduce the level of hypothermia among low birth weight babies.

Background: Save blood-save life is one of the (Red Cross Society) slogans. Trauma is a physical wound caused by external force or violence, a painful emotional experience. Trauma is a leading cause of death in people between the ages of 18-45 years. It is the fourth leading cause of death in the world. Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death worldwide among persons between 18-45 years of age and accounts for 10% of all deaths. Applying appropriate hemorrhage control techniques are of much help to reduce the mortality rates, tourniquet was highly effectiveness to control external bleeding among trauma patients.
Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of tourniquet on external bleeding among trauma patients.
Design: True-experimental design, where Posttest only with control Group design was used.
Participants: 40 trauma patients were included in the study.
Methods: Random allocation sampling technique was used in the study. Tourniquet was applied for an Experimental group (Exp) with external bleeding with duration of 10 min, 15 min and 20 min in exp-I, II and III respectively in three groups.
Results: The data was obtained by using a demographic proforma and revised trauma scale for trauma patients. After intervention Results showed in control group exp-I only 40% of the external bleeding was controlled, and there was 90% of the external bleeding control in experimental group II and III. The calculated unpaired 't' test value showed that there is significant effectiveness of tourniquet in 15 min and 20 min (t=2.62, t=3.896 and tv=2.021) on external bleeding among trauma patients.
Conclusion: Tourniquet is an effective technique to reduce the level of external bleeding among trauma patients.

'' Save the fleeting minute, learn gracefully to dodge the bore"
Cardiac emergencies happen all around us. Though they are number one killer of one time, they rarely make the evening news (or) the Papers. Cardio vascular disease is the Number one killer of adults. It exerts a huge burden on individual and society. Prompt recognition and initiation of appropriate treatment can save lives during these most deadly cardiac emergencies. Main signs: Massive chest pain, Cold sweat, Shortness of breath, Dizziness or fainting. Heart Attack (MI): Blood flow to some part of heart muscles is comprised and Heart begins to die and enough of heart dies. Heart cannot circulate blood effectively. Cardiogenic Shock: It is a condition in which cant pump enough blood to meet your body's need. The condition is not often caused by severe heart attack. It often fatal if not treat. Sudden Cardiac Death: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. If this happens blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) usually causes death if not treated within minutes. Heart Failure: Heart failure is a term used to describe a heart that cannot keep up with its workload. The body may not get the oxygen it needs. Pericarditis: Inflamation of lining around the heart (The Pericardium) that causes chest pain, accumulation of fluid around the heart (Pericardial effusion) it leads to Cardiac tamponade. Role of Critical Care Nurse Practioner: The immediate management of emergency is dependent on the Prompt action is essential. Nurse represent the largest body of health care professional. A socially responsible nurse having clinic sense is a key for applying public health intervention in the community. Being round the clock at patient bedside nurse in best position to initiate the resuscitation process whether witnessed or unwitnessed cardiac arrest. Nurse role in cardiac rehabilitation is identified as having a "Spider in the web like character". A trained nurse could effectively deal with cardiovascular emergencies, including Rhythm recognition early defibrillation and emergency medication administration. The nurse role as educator could meet the need of patients through educate, support, supervision and reinforcement.

Background of the study: WHO and UNICEF state that the use of human milk from other sources should be the first alternative when it is not possible for the mother to breastfeed. Human milk banks should be made available in appropriate situations. A human milk bank is a service established for collecting, screening, processing, storing and distributing donated human milk. Objectives: 1. To assess the level of knowledge regarding human milk banking among paediatric staff nurses. 2. To find out the association between knowledge score with selected demographic variables. Materials and methods: The data were collected from 30 Paediatric staff nurses related to human milk banking by convenient sampling method with the use of dichotomous structured questionnaire method. Result: 52% paediatric Staff nurses having adequate knowledge regarding human milk banking, moderate knowledge 39% and inadequate knowledge 9% regarding human milk banking, and there is a significant association between knowledge score and demographic variables. Conclusion: The major conclusion drawn from this study was that highest percentage 52% paediatric staff nurses had adequate knowledge regarding human milk banking.References
