Percutaneous Closure of the Left Atrial Appendage for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: An Alternative to Lifelong Anticoagulation?
Atrial fibrillation is an important risk factor for thromboembolic stroke and it significantly increases the risk of stroke. The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the most common site of thrombus formation in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, and the recent applications of percutaneous LAA closure devices offer a promising alternative for patients who are unable to tolerate lifelong anticoagulation. Critical care nurses who understand the procedures and are familiar with the various devices used for LAA closure will be well prepared to provide optimum care and appropriate education for these patients.

Students' Perceptions of a Tobacco Education Intervention
Persons living with a mental illness represent an especially vulnerable and disadvantaged subgroup of smokers. Compared to those in the general population, they smoke more, die younger, and suffer disproportionately from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer, all diseases and conditions directly associated with, and exacerbated by, smoking. Despite strong evidence that tobacco cessation counseling by a health professional can approximately double patients' odds of quitting, clinicians across disciplines are reluctant to offer these individuals effective means by which to quit smoking.

Addressing the burden of stroke caregivers: a literature review
ConclusionsThe literature review has shown that research regarding the risk of caregiver burden and the resulting health compromise is scarce. In addition, there is a lack of evidence‐based nursing interventions aimed at assuaging the risk of caregiver burden. Relevance to clinical practiceCaregiver stress culminating in burden is commonly a reason for the eventual institutionalisation of the stroke survivor. Critically assessing and providing for the physical, psychosocial and educational support needs of stroke caregivers will assist in mitigating the daily burden experienced by the caregiver. Caregiver burden often re...
