[Nursing of intubation].

Recent developments in noninvasive ventilation allow the intensivists to delay the time o intubation of the patient admitted to the ICU. This new possibility of a gain in time leads to the fact that those patients who are intubated in the ICLI, are patients with a very compromised hemodynamic and respiratory situation. For this reason, we developed a specific protocol regarding the intubation procedure of this kind of patients. This paper reviews our strategies for endotracheal tube positioning in critically ill patients and shows the fundamental role of the nurses during this procedure.

Monitoring of intra-abdominal pressure.

Intra-abdominal pressure monitoring is a very important parameter in the ICU setting, since pathological alterations of this value are significant and are responsible for functional alterations involving cardio-respiratory system, kidneys and central nervous system. Responsibility of the professional nurse in the ICU is to perform a tight and adequate monitoring of those patients who are at risk for a rise in intra-abdominal pressure.

Oxygen saturation monitoring.

Pulse-oximeter is described as the most important technological proceeding for monitoring the patients' safety during anesthesia, after surgery and in emergency. This opinion was widely confirmed in the 1990s when pulse-oximeter has been definitively introduced in the standard for base monitoring in the OR and has been proposed for routinary use also in the ICU. In this paper we consider the importance, in the cardiovascular, respiratory and brain parameters monitoring, of continuous oximetry of mixed venous blood (SVO2) and blood venous saturation in the internal jugular vein (SjvO2).

Anesthesia↗

[Vascular catheter positioning and maintenance].

The paper highlights the importance of invasive pressure monitoring systems. The most common catheters are considered (intra-arterial, Swan/Ganz, central venous), catheter positioning (appropriate sites, risks and early and late complications of intravascular cannulation), evaluation of pressure and finally the role of nursing in the management of the intravascular catheter in situ (care of cannulation site, management of the catheter).

Blood Pressure↗

[Periapical lesions treated with CaO. Histological controls].

The results of histological examinations conducted on 2 granulomas found in teeth and treated with calcium oxide are reported. It is concluded that the treatment produces significant changes in the histological picture with the formation of scar tissue that precedes the growth of newborn in a relatively short time.

Adult↗

[Oral aphthae].

The Authors present a modern treatment of the Recurrent Aphthous Ulcers (R.A.U.) with antibiotics, C vit. and intestinal flora as prophylaxis, with laser against pain and with cortisone to depress the immunitary origin of disease. They briefly analyze some clinical cases.

Anti-Bacterial Agents↗

[Tetracycline discoloration].

The authors present the last news on the link between tetracycline and teeth hard tissues, on the diagnosis of teeth discromy and an overview on the most recent bleaching vital technics; they analyze some clinical cases.
