Developing clinical expertise in the care of addicted patients in acute care settings.

Patients with problems related to addiction are frequently encountered in acute care hospitals. Behavioral difficulties and other obstacles to treatment often threaten the smooth application of compassionate plans of care for these patients. The authors describe the use of an addiction nurse expert and a group of clinical resource nurses to advance the level of practice at one institution with regard to addicted patients. The work of Benner on the process of skill acquisition in nursing is used as a framework for the discussion.

Transcranial Doppler assessment of cerebral embolic disorders.

Transcranial Doppler ultrasound allows noninvasive monitoring of the large intracranial vessels. Microembolic signals (MES) have been observed under a variety of circumstances, especially in symptomatic carotid stenosis, high-risk cardiac conditions, and surgical procedures (such as carotid endarterectomy and cardiopulmonary bypass surgery). Technical considerations have presented numerous challenges to the interpretation of these signals, many of which appear to represent small emboli traveling in the blood flow. The technical aspects of these MES are discussed and their significance in relation to cerebral ischemia and its prevention are examined in some detail.
