摘要:

The critical care nurse plays a key role in the management and care of the patient with Infective Endocarditis. The nurse's sensitive assessment of post-operative cardiac surgery patients helps to identify this complication in the early stages so that early antibiotic therapy can improve outcomes for patients with this complication. Likewise, the nurse's assessment which uncovers a history of recent dental techniques or drug abuse helps identify this complication in newly-admitted patients. By administering and evaluating the success of antibiotic therapy the nurse helps the patient combat the Infective Endocarditis.

摘要:

Blood pressure measurement has been studied by many researchers, resulting in the development of BP measurement recommendations and guidelines for various age groups and clinical situations. Blood pressure measurement in critically ill children has not been studied extensively and requires additional research to validate the efficacy of various BP measurement methods in this unique patient population. In this study, the differences among direct, oscillometric, and doppler blood pressure measurements were compared in twelve critically ill children.

摘要:

The ICU exists so that critically ill patients can receive highly technical, specialized care which will support physiologic function until recovery can occur. When the patient cannot sustain life without the assistance of technology, and recovery is known to be unlikely, withdrawal of treatment may be appropriate. Nonetheless, withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment is often complex ethically and emotionally. The following case submitted by a DCCN reader illustrates the challenge of treatment withdrawal issues in critical care.
