The knowledge of critical care nurses regarding intra-aortic balloonpump counterpulsation therapyOosthuizen, Phillippus Johannes 01 1900 (has links)
Intra-aortic balloonpump (IABP) counterpulsation therapy is a volume displacement device
designed to provide partial assistance to the left ventricle of the heart. Critical care nurses
are expected to manage IABP therapy. It is therefore important that the critical care nurse
has the knowledge to manage IABP therapy in a safe and therapeutic manner. The
question arises: does the critical care nurse have the knowledge to manage IABP therapy?
The purpose of this research study is to explore and describe the knowledge of the critical
care nurse regarding the management of IABP therapy.
The design of this research study is a quantitative, descriptive and contextual study, in
which a sample survey was performed, using a questionnaire (based on a literature study)
under controlled conditions.
The knowledge of the majority of critical care nurses tested was found to be insufficient.
Safe management guidelines and in-service training have been proposed to improve the
situation. / lntra-aortiese ballonpomp (IABP) teenpulsasie terapie is 'n volume verplasings apparaat,
antwerp om gedeeltelike ondersteuning aan die linker ventrikel van die hart te bied.
Kritiekesorgverpleegkundiges is verantwoordelik vir die hantering van rASP terapie. Die
vraag ontstaan: beskik die kritiekesorgverpleegkundige oor voldoende kennis rakende die
hantering van IABP terapie?
Die doel van hierdie studie is om die kennis van kritiekesorgverpleegkundiges te ondersoek
en te beskryf rakende die hantering van IABP terapie.
Die resultate van hierdie navorsingstudie dui daarop dat die meerderheid kritiekesorgverpleegkundiges
wat getoets was oor onvoldoende kennis beskik ten opsigte van IABP
terapie. Formulering van riglyne en indiensopleiding is aanbeveel om hierdie situasie te
verbeter.
Die navorsingsontwerp is kwantitatief, beskrywend en kontekstueel van aard, waartydens
'n gerieflikheidsteekproeftrekking gedoen is, met gebruik van 'n vraelys (gebasseer op 'n
literatuurstudie) onder gekontrolleerde toestande. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)

Cardiac dysfunction and lactic acidosis during hyperdynamic and hypovolemic shock / David James Cooper.Cooper, David James 1956- Unknown Date (has links)
Bibliography: p. 137-154. / 154 p. : / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / This thesis details a series of studies in patients, in human volunteers and in large animals. Haemodynamics and left ventricular systolic and diastolic mechanics are reported during lactic acidosis, during therapies for lactic acidosis, and during hyperdynamic and hypovolemic shock. The study has the unifying hypothesis that cardiac dysfunction is important in hyperdynamic and hypovolemic shock and is not caused by lactic acidosis. / Thesis (M.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1997?

Expatriate non-Muslim nurses' experiences of working in a cardiac intensive care unit in Saudi ArabiaVan Bommel, Michelle 06 1900 (has links)
Nursing Muslim patients in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) poses challenges for expatriate non-Muslim nurses. Caring for Muslim patients in a cardiac intensive care unit, catering for patients who underwent open heart surgery, poses unique challenges to non-Muslim nurses.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 63 non-Muslim nurses who cared for Muslim patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. Factors that influenced non Muslim nurses’ experiences of working with Muslim patients in the KSA, included culture shock, language barriers and a lack of understanding of Islam as a religion. In-service education sessions, addressing these issues, could enhance non-Muslim nurses' abilities to render culture competent care to Muslim patients in a cardiac intensive care unit in the KSA. Arabic-English translators could facilitate communication between the expatriate nurses and the Muslim patients. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)
