Using epicardial pacing electrodes.

Epicardial pacing electrodes are a widely used tool for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac dysrhythmias in cardiac surgical patients. This article describes the use of epicardial pacing wires, differentiation of unipolar and bipolar electrograms, and atrial electrogram interpretation. Diagnosis and treatment of dysrhythmias with atrial pacing is described, as is trouble-shooting. A case study and nursing diagnoses are used to illustrate the clinical applicability of epicardial pacing electrodes.

Establishing cost centers within libraries of medical centers.

Medical centers that educate students, treat patients, and perform medical research usually adopt accounting methods for separating those functions financially--designating each function as a cost center. Faculty members who participate in more than one of the separately charged activities have their salaries apportioned accordingly. Cost-shared services, such as a computer facility or a power plant, may also be apportioned among the cost centers. Given this approach to accounting, the shared services of the medical center's library should be included in such an apportionment. Whether such is the case, why the matter is of concern, and how such accounting can be performed were recently studied.

Catalog card production with a programmable terminal.

Application of a programmable terminal and printer to the cataloging task of a small medical library is described. The application is independent of a computer; the terminal is used in "local" mode only. Full sets of catalog cards are produced, following a single typing of descriptive cataloging data and tracings. Books can be cataloged the same day they are received. Actual cost per book is just over a dollar, for equipment rental, card stock, and the cataloger's time at the console, after call number, tracings, and main entry for the book have been determined.
