Abstract

The aim of the Research to Practice column is to enhance the research critique abilities of both advanced practice registered nurses and emergency nurses, while also aiding in the translation of research findings into clinical practice. Each column focuses on a specific topic and research study. In this article, we used a scenario of left upper quadrant pain to explore the study by de-Madaria et al., titled "Aggressive or moderate fluid resuscitation in acute pancreatitis".

Keywords: critical care; emergency medicine; fluid resuscitation; gastrointestinal; pancreatitis.
