“…33 The addition of nursing personnel to the sonographic practice has enhanced the assessment and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. 34 TEE imaging by critical care nurses has been shown to be a safe method for measuring cardiac index and estimating intravascular volume in patients requiring hemodynamic monitoring in medical and surgical ICUs, because measurements obtained via Doppler imaging correlated well with those obtained via pulmonary artery catheterization. 35 BIS has the potential to offer information about the adequacy of cerebral blood flow and oxygenation, although changes in BIS readings often lag behind changes in arterial pressures.…”

Nuevas posibilidades organizativas en la era de la historia clínica electrónica

“…En este sentido, el personal de enfermería bien entrenado es capaz de producir registros en todo superponibles a los obtenidos por los especialistas [3][4][5][6] . Entre los aspectos que pueden ser delegados con toda garantía figuran la ecografía urológica, algunos aspectos de la endoscopia urológica terapéutica (retirada de catéteres ureterales), los estudios de diná-mica miccional, la gestión de la patología quirúrgica menor y el seguimiento de patologías de curso previsible (revisión de seminogramas posvasectomía, entre otros) 7,8 .…”

Integrating Research into Clinical Practice: Development of an Echocardiography Research Unit

“…A solution to this staffing need is designating a research nurse to enroll subjects in the absence of the primary investigator. The research nurse is responsible for a wide range of protocol‐related activities within the ERU 4 . This person serves as both patient advocate and team member of the protocol research group.…”

The research nurse is often the first person to contact potential research subjects and, from the point of contact, serves as the participant's advocate.…”
