Mastering temporary invasive cardiac pacing.
Competent management of patients with an invasive temporary pacemaker is an important skill for nurses who provide care for critically ill patients with cardiac disease. Such management requires familiarity with normal cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, conduction system defects, and rhythm interpretation. With an understanding of the basic concepts of rate, output, chambers, sensitivity, and capture, pacing can be done with ease. Care of patients with a temporary invasive pacemaker requires monitoring cardiac tissue and hemodynamic status, observing for changes that would indicate the need for modifications in the pacemaker settings. Nursing interventions include physical assessment, care of the insertion site, routine threshold testing, and management of the pulse generator.

Vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Despite every effort, 13% of patients with SAH still die or are permanently disabled as a consequence of vasospasm. Optimal outcome after aneurysmal SAH depends on careful assessment and management of patients throughout the course of hospitalization. Critical care nurses play a crucial role in this process. Efforts continue to understand the cascade of events that lead to cerebral vasospasm and to develop more effective treatments. Many therapies, both traditional and new, are being investigated to reduce the incidence of symptomatic vasospasm and improve the lives of patients who experience this devastating condition.
