Disinfection by electrohydraulic treatment.

Electrohydraulic treatment was applied to suspensions of Escherichia coli, spores of Bacillus subtilis var. niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and bacteriophage T2 at an input energy that, in most cases, was below the energy required to sterilize. The input energy was held relatively constant for each of these microorganisms, but the capacitance and voltage were varied. Data are presented which show the degree of disinfection as a function of capacitance and voltage. In all cases, the degree of disinfection for a given input energy increases as both capacitance and voltage are lowered.

Sterilization by electrohydraulic treatment.

Electrohydraulic treatment was applied to suspensions of Escherichia coli, spores of Bacillus subtilis var. niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and bacteriophage T-2, as well as to raw municipal sewage. These suspensions were all sterilized. Data are presented to show the different degrees of treatment required for each micro-organism.

A guide to noninvasive intermittent ventilatory support.

Patients who use home-based medical technologies, such as noninvasive intermittent ventilatory support, may require hospitalization on units where the staff is unfamiliar with this type of equipment. Consequently, acute care clinicians need resources so they can provide safe care to these patients. This article provides background information about noninvasive intermittent ventilatory support, presents a case study to illustrate key aspects of each type of support, and provides quick reference tables to assist acute care clinicians in managing this technology.

Analyzing the quality of ophthalmic nursing research.

The purpose of this project was to describe, classify, and analyze ophthalmic nursing research published between 1975 and 1996. Sixty-six quantitative research articles were reviewed. This mainly descriptive body of research covered such topics as assessment/screening, self-care, and risk factors. The research articles were generally rated as superior or average, with many of the average being at the low end of the scale. Twenty-eight percent of the research was not applicable to nursing practice, and 42% had low or no theoretical relevance to nursing. This review will help to establish a research agenda in the area of ophthalmic nursing.
