摘要:

Assessment and documentation of patient responses to treatment and/ or invasive procedures are important facets of nursing care. The purpose of this article is to describe a tool for assessing and quantifying a patient's response to sedation and tolerance of a specific diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedure. Use of the conscious sedation scale will allow the nurse to objectively measure the patient's outcome. This tool will also facilitate better patient care and documentation and substantiate nursing intervention.

摘要:

Endoscopic lithotripsy is a procedure used for the removal of large stones in the common bile duct that cannot be removed after sphincterotomy. This procedure causes fragmentation of large stones, which allows easier retrieval of stones by other instruments such as balloons or baskets. There are currently two types of mechanical lithotripsy: one type uses an instrument called a mechanical lithotriptor, and the second type uses an electrohydraulic lithotriptor. This article focuses on mechanical lithotripsy. Since it is vital for the operator of this equipment to understand its function, assembly, disassembly, and maintenance, specific guidelines are provided.

摘要:

Nurses practicing in hospital settings are in a unique position to become involved in research. Day-to-day contact with a variety of patients offers the ideal opportunity to launch an investigation based on actual or potential nursing problems. Often these nurses are not aware of the resources that could help them implement a study that would provide valuable data to staff and others who work with a similar patient population. The purpose of this article is to aid staff nurses in initiating research by discussing resources that may be available within their immediate geographical area.

摘要:

Much of the research and literature regarding gastrointestinal nursing addresses concerns of clients in the hospital or outpatient setting. This article focuses on a larger clientele, the well elderly aggregate in the community. Implementation of the nursing process with participants of a local senior center indicated the need for a gastrointestinal education program. A GI health program with a long-range goal of reducing the number of deaths caused by colon cancer was developed and presented. The goal of the program was to educate individuals about colon cancer and the importance of early detection. In this article, the authors describe the application of the nursing process with a well elderly population and the results of that experience for the client and for the GI nurse in the community.

摘要:

Staffing the endoscopy area has become increasingly complex. Growth in procedure volumes. changes in technology, and the application of endoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of disease contribute to the complexities. The manager must deal with these changes, maintain costs, and still provide adequate staffing to ensure patient safety and quality care. The purpose of this article is to present the results of a laboratory manager survey conducted in 1990. Of 51 laboratory managers who responded, those who rated their laboratories to be adequately staffed averaged 4.2 hr per procedure. The survey results may be useful to laboratory managers seeking to calculate staff needs in a typical endoscopy area.
