Use of a Delphi technique to prioritize clinical nursing research needs.

School of nursing faculty and nursing service personnel at an academic medical center in the South, collaboratively using a Delphi method, were able to prioritize the top three unit based clinical nursing research needs. The benefits were evident as research conducted at the staff level linked the research efforts with the quality improvement efforts on the Labor, Delivery and OB Receiving Units. The Delphi method, a consensus building technique, offered a clear, concise, accurate and non-threatening approach for staff nurses to participate in research.

Halothane and trichloroethylene. Two agents in a single vaporizer.

The vapour pressures of static mixtures of halothane and trichloroethylene and the output of the two vapours from an Oxford Miniature Vaporizer filled with mixtures of the two liquids have been studied. In a small pilot study, a mixture of halothane and trichloroethylene was used for drawover anaesthesia in patients having minor surgery; this seems to work satisfactorily and may have some limited applications.
