title: The tunable dye laser--introducing new technology into the working environment.
abstract: As we are all aware, the pace of change in all aspects of specialised critical care is constant, and finding time to understand and incorporate new technological advances into our nursing practice is not easy. Theatre nursing is demanding enough with the increasing demand for theatre sessions, staff shortages and financial limitations, but the obvious benefits of medical advances for patients easily outweigh these as this article will hopefully illustrate. We are all willing to embrace positive change but do feel the need to incorporate it safely into our practice, a dilemma recognised by Evans.
