The results showed that half of the control and study groups had substantial beginning requirements and that the patient has a robust continuous volume need for the examined patient (score 4). Also, half of the control and study groups had large-resolved prearrival hypotension or tachycardia (score 1) before the emergency nursing intervention, whereas fewer than three quarters of the control and study groups had never been hypotensed or tachycardic. After the nursing intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in the mean total score between the control and study groups.
