Enflurane for controlled hypotension.
Enflurane was substituted for halothane in an established technique of controlled hypotension, involving beta-blockade and sympathetic ganglion blockade, for 2 groups of patients. One group was undergoing major plastic surgery and/or major maxillo-facial surgery and these patients breathed spontaneously. The other group was undergoing major neurosurgery and received intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV). All patients were carefully monitored during anaesthesia and for 24 hours postoperatively. Good operation conditions were produced and no ill effects of controlled hypotension were detected in any of the patients.

Nurses' role in supporting people who are HIV positive.
This is the second of two papers which report the results of a research study of the psychological and emotional needs of people with HIV disease and how nurses might best offer support. This paper discusses the nurse's role in offering psychological and emotional support to patients. Inductive analysis of in-depth interviews with in-patients and their nurses revealed four aspects of the nursing role that were highly valued: nurses being caring; acting therapeutically; assessing and monitoring patients' changing needs for emotional support; and acting as educators.
