摘要:

Critical care nurses caring for postoperative cardiac surgery patients are confronted, on a regular basis, with care issues related to thermal gradients and shivering. Thermal gradients are defined as temperature differences between two body parts. Monitoring the central and peripheral temperatures, evaluating the thermal gradients, and measuring shivering with reliable means are the prerequisites for the prediction of shivering. The detrimental physiologic effect of shivering necessitates additional clinical research to further define causative factors of shivering.

摘要:

The critical care environment, with its fast-paced tempo, its vast technology, and its many invasive procedures, carries the potential for creating feelings of powerlessness within patients, their families, and even in the nurses who work there. This article examines the nursing diagnosis of powerlessness and its etiologic factors. The authors present a challenging case in which creative nursing techniques decrease powerlessness for a partially paralyzed and intubated patient.

摘要:

With the persistent presence of violence in our urban areas and the availability of guns, penetrating injuries as a result of firearm use continue to be a challenge for the emergency, surgery, and operating room nurse. Because gunshot wounds may be rapidly fatal, an understanding of firearms and the injuries they produce, as well as their possible complications, can assist the critical care nurse in caring for patients with gunshot wounds to the chest. Thoracic trauma is present in 50% of all trauma patients1and is the cause of death in 25% of these victims. Penetrating trauma from violent episodes accounts for approximately 50% of cases of chest trauma in the urban setting.

摘要:

Each step of the research process has specific ethical considerations. This article presents the ethical aspects that the nurse researcher needs to incorporate into a clinical research project and that the critical care staff nurse can use to identify potential unethical research practices involving critical care patients.

摘要:

Charge nurses are used in most critical care units to facilitate quality patient care by serving as resources to the nursing staff. These authors suggest strategies for initiating or evaluating the charge nurse role in critical care. Interviews with critical care charge nurses show how different viewpoints remain regarding this key role of the charge nurse.
