摘要:

&NA;In this study, single‐channel manual pumps were compared with multiple‐channel computerized pumps with respect to specific nursing and pharmacy procedures. The nursing procedures include all the steps involved in taking care of a central line catheter, from verifying physician's orders, performing line changes, administering intermittent medications, and documenting fluids and medication infusions. The pharmacy procedures included assembling and priming the infusion sets. Nurses and pharmacy technicians were observed performing these functions, and a total of 358 timed observations were obtained. The data revealed a greater time savings with the computerized multiple‐channel system when complex intravenous therapy is necessary.

摘要:

&NA;During the past decade, intensive investigation into the adverse clinical potential of leukocytes in red cell and platelet products has been undertaken. Clinical data indicated several benefits associated with the delivery of leukocyte‐depleted blood products. These benefits include a reduction in nonhemolytic febrile transfusion reactions, human leukocyte antigen alloimmunization, and viral transmission. In response to such findings, several procedures and devices have been designed to remove leukocytes from blood components.

摘要:

&NA;During the past decade, a number of studies have established that there is a considerable pharmacologic advantage to direct intraperitoneal instillation of chemotherapy for treatment of cancer confined to the abdominal cavity. This article explores the history, present status, and future directions of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The therapeutic advantages, various chemotherapeutic agents used, delivery systems, administration procedures, toxic effects, and nursing management are addressed.

摘要:

&NA;Interest in the immune response has greatly increased, mostly because of the discovery of the AIDS virus. An understanding of the basic function of the normal human immune system is vital knowledge for today's nurse. Part 1 of this article describes normal immune response as well as abnormal immune system function, and correlates this information with the clinical picture of the patient.

摘要:

&NA;Controlling patients' pain is no longer a luxury in health care. Studies have shown that pain can cause physical harm. A better understanding of the pain pathway has enabled health care professionals to control pain more effectively. Development of pain control techniques that include patient‐controlled analgesia (PCA) and intraspinal infusions of narcotics and local anesthetic agents has enhanced the level of pain control. Fewer side effects and decreased narcotic use are among the advantages demonstrated with PCA and intraspinal infusions. Side effects can be minimized and complications reduced when nursing can intervene during narcotic infusions. The role of the intravenous nurse is expanding into the area of pain management as educator and clinical practitioner.

摘要:

&NA;This article concerns the implementation of a bar code system in an I.V. department. The I.V. team was disbanded in 1984 and 1985. The team was brought back, but it was a struggle to maintain staff and deliver quality, comprehensive I.V. services. With the implementation of the bar code system, nursing productivity could be demonstrated. The I.V. department now generates revenue of significant magnitude, and productivity can be proved with the new bar code system.
