Cerebral circulation demystified.

Basic anatomic and physiologic concepts related to cerebral circulation are summarized. The arterial blood supply is traced from its origins to the major divisions of anterior and posterior circulation. The circle of Willis, the major arterial vessels and territories, and the peculiarities of the cerebral venous circulation are discussed. Finally, concepts of cerebral circulations are applied to clinical practice to assist the nurse in accurately assessing, monitoring, and predicting human responses to alterations in cerebral blood supply.

Effective discharge planning and the neurosurgical nurse.

Discharge planning is a complex collaborative process that begins with the admission of a patient and culminates with a smooth discharge to another care facility or home. The process is designed to ensure quality of care and cost containment. However, the goals of discharge planning can only be realized if health care professionals involved in the patient's care see this as their professional responsibility and consciously work toward meeting the needs of the patient.
