摘要:

This retrospective, descriptive study examined the wishes, concerns, and experiences of patients who had been placed in a halo brace to treat a cervical fracture. Thirty-eight subjects who had a halo brace applied during the past 8 years completed the questionnaire. Data obtained reflected physiologic as well as psychosocial needs of these patients. Responses were categorized based on nursing diagnoses. Results demonstrated the need for more specific information given to patients before discharge from the hospital to facilitate adjustment to the halo brace and activities of daily living.

摘要:

Standardization of treatment parameters is key to facilitating accurate initiation of orthopaedic patient care. A standard “Postop Orthopaedic Orders” form was developed via a collaborative effort among orthopaedic nurses, physicians, and unit secretaries. Its purpose was to improve the completeness of physicians' orders, efficiency of order transcription, and speed initiation of the therapeutic regime.

摘要:

Valsalva maneuver has been suspected of precipitating pulmonary embolism (PE), but the association of the two variables has not been studied. The purpose of this retrospective study was to begin to investigate whether Valsalva behavior is associated with subsequent PE. The frequency of Valsalva behaviors prior to confirmed PE in 30 patients was compared to the frequency of Valsalva behaviors in 60 non-PE patients, randomly selected from patients matched with the study group for age, sex, and year of hospitalization.
