摘要:

The care of the trauma patient is a challenge to orthopaedic nurses. It is important to be aware of the newer techniques that can be used to provide optimum benefit in reconstruction of soft tissue injuries that frequently accompany a skeletal injury of the extremities following trauma. This article focuses on the nursing care of the trauma patient requiring microvascular muscle and musculocutaneous transplants to reconstruct soft tissue injuries posttrauma.

摘要:

Research data gathered during the last 10 years indicates that nurses and nurse practitioners practice in a safe, cost-effective manner. However, due to the lack of direct third-party reimbursement, nurses have been unable to directly impact the marketplace and demonstrate their fiscal credibility. Increasing client access to affordable health care is the primary reason that nurses and nurse practitioners seek direct third-party reimbursement.This article presents an overview of reimbursement for nurses, emphasizing the importance of obtaining direct third-party reimbursement, while explaining traditional insurance programs, current reimbursement policies, obstacles that must be overcome, and the outlook for the future.

摘要:

Naloxone (Narcan®), a semisynthetic opioid antagonist, has approved therapeutic use for the treatment of opioid-induced central nervous system depression. With the implementation of epidural and intrathecal opioid analgesia, naloxone has been used for the treatment of side effects associated with these methods of analgesia. Consequently, there has been greater utility of naloxone for postoperative orthopaedic, noncritical patients. Naloxone was thought to be devoid of any intrinsic activity and, therefore, thought to have few side effects. There have been several reports of cardiovascular complications associated with naloxone administration that have disputed this view. Since use of naloxone is increasing in orthopaedic nursing practice, orthopaedic nurses need to understand the potential complications associated with its use.

摘要:

A prospective randomized study of 300 total joint replacement patients was done comparing the gastrointestinal (GI) side effects of morphine, meperidine, and nalbuphine given by patient controlled analgesia (PCA). All three groups of patients developed some form of GI dysfunction, but no significant difference was found among the three narcotics used. It was found that normal GI assessment in the initial postoperative period does not guarantee that GI function will remain normal. This finding indicates a need for extended nursing assessment of the GI status of the postoperative PCA patient.
