摘要:

The use of transluminal balloon angioplasty has become widespread in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Since critical care nurses are responsible for the assessment and management after the procedure in the critical care unit, the authors provide information on the pathophysiology and potential nursing diagnoses for these patients. In this way, the critical care nurse can support the patient before, during, and after the procedure.

摘要:

Critical care nurses in emergency, cardiac, or medical intensive care units may care for women who have experienced a myocardial infarction during pregnancy. Nursing management of the pregnant patient with a myocardial infarction (MI) requires an understanding of the normal physiology of pregnancy, the deviations from health with an MI, and an ability to integrate this knowledge to provide skillful care to unique and very ill patients. Here the authors describe caring for a pregnant patient in cardiac care, while a later article in this issue focuses on the critical care nurse's role in teaching obstetric nurses arrhythmia interpretation when the patient remains on an obstetric unit. Collaboration between the critical care nurse and obstetric nurse is essential to care for these complex patients.

摘要:

Burnout and nursing shortage are two negative realities in today's health care system. If burnout can be averted, retention will increase and the shortage will be less severe. Camp nursing provides an appealing option for critical care nurses from adult or pediatric intensive care units who need a temporary change of pace.

摘要:

What message do nurses give to children who ask about nursing as a career? Camp nursing opportunities are one good example of the diverse experiences available to nurses–even to critical care nurses. Are these options clarified when young people ask about nursing opportunities?DCCN asked several critical care nurses what they would tell their teenage children, if they were interested in nursing as a profession. These four critical care nurses provide insight into responding to these queries.

摘要:

In the article Developing Unit-Specific Standards in the November/December 1988 issue of DCCN, the authors described techniques for developing and implementing unit-specific standards of practice in critical care. Here the nurse-attorney author adds another perspective, a legal one. This author suggests ways to word standards of practice so that they will be more useful in defending the nurse and the hospital in any potential negligence claims.

摘要:

An extra pair of hands is a precious commodity because of today's nursing shortage. Should technicians without nursing credentials be assigned to fulfill the role of nurses in critical care areas? Many have already voiced their opinions against the Registered Care Technologist (RCT) proposal of the American Medical Association (AMA), but it is time to examine the larger issue: the broad use of technicians in critical care. This author clarifies important factors regarding the use of technicians in critical care.
