摘要:

Currently a myriad of devices are available for immobilization of the injured or postsurgical upper extremity. Some of these devices are straightforward and easily used, but some are more complicated and require more familiarity for their successful application. However, even simple devices have the potential for misapplication and thus prevent their benefit to the patient. This article is the first in a 3-part series. The goals of the series are (1) to present and review several devices on the market used by shoulder surgeons to immobilize the upper extremity, and (2) to discuss proper application and precautions of their use. It is intended that this series will benefit nurses, therapists, and trainers involved in the use of these devices.

摘要:

The spondyloarthropathies represent a heterogeneous group of arthropathies including ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis with Reiter syndrome as one subtype, arithritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis associated with psoriasis, and juvenile spondyloarthritis. These conditions are linked by several common features: inflammatory arthritis involving the back, a high prevalence of HLA-B27, frequent tendon/ligament insertion inflammation, and several common extra-articular manifestations (iritis, skin lesions). Although not uncommon, these types of arthritis are more difficult to recognize than other types of arthritis such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

摘要:

Literature reports and staff concerns about management of patients' pain prompted nurses in a 337-bed suburban community hospital to implement a pain management education program. The Task Force tackled physician collaboration, securing resources, revising documentation tools, and designing an educational workshop. Their efforts resulted in the purchase of audiovisual materials for staff and patient use, addition of information about patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) devices to the hospital closed-circuit patient education TV channel, distribution of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) guidelines to hospital staff, revision of documentation tools, and the implementation of a 4-hour pain management education workshop for all professional nurses. Quality monitoring after the workshop reflected an improvement in nursing documentation of pain management.

摘要:

Allograft bone tissue is frequently used in orthopaedic reconstructive surgery. At many major medical centers, this procedure is as routine as the implantation of manmade metallic prosthetics. The harvesting, preparation, and delivery of bone used for transplantation is a complex and intricate process coupled with varying practices among different bone banks. This article provides the reader with information on current standards and practices in bone banking and transplantation. This will help the perioperative orthopaedic nurse deliver safe patient care during procedures using cadaveric bone and tissue.
