THE 3 C'S OF NEUROSURGICAL NURSING
Satiapoorany Subramaniam
INTRODUCTION -
OBJECTIVE:
Nursing is a demanding yet rewarding profession. Neurosurgical Unit is a unit where nurses embrace a holistic, coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to meeting patients and family's needs and expectations, thereby ensuring patient safety and patient and staff satisfaction. Therefore nurses play a vital role in facilitating a shift towards a more patient-care focused environment
METHOD: The 3 C's of neuroscience nursing of CARING, COMPASSION AND COMMUNICATION is very vital in neuroscience nursing. The mission of every neuroscience nurse is to be a leader in providing compassionate, individualized, culturally appropriate quality nursing care, focusing on the unique needs of our neurosurgical patient population and their families"
RESULTS: Communication has always been the cornerstone of nursing care, so much so that it is almost impossible to describe what nursing is or what nurses do without reference to terms such as listening, communicating, reporting and observing. However, compassion is also linked along with confidence, competence, conscience, commitment and comportment. If nurses claim to genuinely care for their patients, then without compassion their caring may be incomplete and lacking. This could help to explain why some nurses are technically competent, but do not seem outwardly compassionate. Ultimately, "compassion impels and empowers nurses to not only acknowledge, but also act"
CONCLUSIONS:The shift towards patient-centered care is the priority in health care today. Providing quality care with the 3 C'that is highly efficient and patient-friendly while being cost-effective is difficult, but not an impossible task.

MANAGEMENT OF EXTERNAL VENTRICULAR DRAINAGE
Yit Cheng Yee
Kuala Lumpur General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
INTRODUCTION -
OBJECTIVE: The brain and spinal cord are surrounded by cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF), which helps to protect them. The areas in the brain that contain this fluid are called ventricles. Sometimes CSF needs to be drained away from the ventricles, for reasons that are explained. External ventricular drainage (EVD) is a temporary method of doing this.
METHOD: The EVD system uses a catheter (a thin, plastic tube), which is placed in the ventricle of the brain. This is connected to a drainage system outside the body. The drainage system works by using gravity. This means the amount of CSF that can drain away depends on the position of the drip chamber or cylinder beneath the ventricles
RESULTS: No matter the reason for the insertion, the safe care of the EVD system is critical to the patient's well being. The EVD system will be explained in detail, as well as the hourly care and assessment. Trouble shooting of the system will be discussed as well. In addition, how to obtain a sample of CSF from the buretrol port will be explained
CONCLUSIONS: Nursing care and management of patients with EVDs is predominantly aimed at preventing the occurrence of complications and collaboration with the medical teams is essential to establish prescribed parameters which are based on individual assessment of the patient's clinical status

INTRODUCTION -
OBJECTIVE: In recent years due to the initiation of new standards for verification and treatment of malignant tumors of the nervous system there is an increase of requirements for accurate and timely diagnosis ofthese diseases. As it is known, cancer diagnosis is based on reliable pathological verification of neoplastic process. The whole process of carrying the immunohistochemical preparations can be divided into 3 stages: preanalytical, analytical and postanalytical. The aim is to study the protocol of taking the immunohistochemical preparations, to choose and adapt protocols for the work.
METHOD:More than 15 protocols of preparing are studied, considerable attention was paid to the peculiarities of preanalytical stage.
RESULTS:We conducted more than 100 immunohistochemical researches. Preanalytical stage was carried out by assistant-histologist. 10% neutral (buffered) formalin was used as a lock. Fixation was conducted at room temperature, no less than 12 and no more than for 24 hours. The alcohol of ascending concentration was used in installation. As the illuminator we use O-xylol. Sections were placed on glasses which were covered with poly-L-lysine.
CONCLUSIONS:Pre-analytical stage of immunohistochemical researches is the most essential moment in complicated technical process of preparations production. During this stage appeared defects will involve incorrect and nonspecific immunohistochemical reactions that lead to wrong verification of neoplastic process by pathologist doctor.

INTRODUCTION -
OBJECTIVE:Increase of the required level of knowledge, skill and abilities of nursing professionals in the care of central venous catheter.
METHOD:Wound infection at the puncture site of the central venous catheter is the actual problem today. Puncture site of the central venous catheter plays an important role. For example (according to the literature) femoral catheter infected more often than the jugular and subclavian vein. We examined 326 patients in 2010-2012, which were punctured and catheterized by vena fetoralis - 120 patients, vena subclavia - 57 patients, f.jguiaris - 60 patients for the period from 5 to 18 days (for continuous infusion therapy). Among the patients there were 200 men and 126 women, mean age of patients was 43+ -35 years. To prevent infection the careful care and control is required, which needs the timely replacement of dressings and daily inspection. With this purpose was developed the algorithm of dressings for the prevention and monitoring of central venous catheter, on the main issues of infection control filling the form 08-1.
RESULTS:In our studies wound infection was observed on 3 patients, which is 0.92%. As a result of compliance with the algorithm we were able to reduce the number of nosocomial infections.
CONCLUSIONS:The basis of the work of nurses is to prevent the emergence and further spread of nosocomial infections.
Education of the personnel is a key to reduce the frequency of nosocomial infection.
