Aim: To assess the effectiveness of radiological imaging in early detection of ICU-acquired pneumonia (ICUAP) and its impact on nursing care plans. Radiological imaging is vital for the early detection and management of ICUAP, with modalities such as chest radiography and CT scans offering critical diagnostic insights. Emerging technologies like lung ultrasound and AI-enhanced imaging further enhance accuracy and accessibility. Imaging findings guide nursing interventions, enabling timely respiratory support, infection control, and tailored care plans. Despite challenges such as limited access and logistical constraints, integrating advanced imaging tools into ICU workflows significantly improves patient outcomes and optimizes nursing care strategies.
