Early Implementation

Noninvasive temporary pacing is safe and easy to use, but must be utilized early to be maximally effective. Early implementation of NTP can be enhanced if the critical care nurse is given the autonomy to implement NTP from an established protocol or unit standing orders.

Teaching Learning

CABG surgery is a stressor that severely compromises the integrity of the family. In the role of teacher, the critical care nurse can function as a catalyst to facilitate the togetherness of the family. This goal may be achieved by the nurse using easily planned and presented teaching-learning strategies described in this article. Family wholeness can be encouraged by the nurse instructing both the patient and spouse in the basic skills and general knowledge necessary to perform postoperative care. In this capacity, the nurse can also establish a foundation for life-long commitment to healthful behaviors. Thus, the instruction of the nurse facilitates the mutual support needed by family members to achieve positive rehabilitation. Truly, teaching after CABG surgery is a family affair.

Critical Link

The link between traumatic injury and alcohol consumption is strong. Although statistics vary, from one half to one third of trauma victims admitted to critical care units have an alcohol-related injury. The initial role of the critical care nurse is to identify the presence of alcohol by monitoring the patient's BAC. Once the presence of alcohol is confirmed, its effects impact directly on the plan of care that evolves during the critical illness. Nursing interventions focus on four specific areas affected by alcohol: the ability of alcohol to mask injury, the effects of alcohol on medications, alcohol withdrawal, and rehabilitation from alcoholism. By incorporating these four areas into the plan of care, the critical care nurse assists the patient not only to recover from a traumatic injury but also to deal with a problem drinking pattern.

The use of temporary cardiac pacing in critical care and stepdown units has grown tremendously over the past 10 years. While the concept of artificial pacing is simple, improvements in generator technology and lead design, along with broader clinical applications, have made temporary cardiac pacing more complex. Consequently, the critical care nurse is required to maintain an advanced level of knowledge regarding modes and complications of temporary pacing, and assessment skills related to recognizing pacemaker hemodynamic effects and pacemaker problems
