ABSTRACT
A study was conducted to identify the patient's perception of the support function of the radiologic technologist and the degree to which it was performed. The patient's perceptions were examined through the relationships of responses in three distinct categories. The 60 women surveyed believed the technologists provided the necessary support through explanation of the procedure and encouragement of questions. The technologists did, indeed, demonstrate concern for each patient as an individual human being.

Motivational theories are viewed as management tools concerned with human resources. The premise of most theories is that human needs give rise to certain behavior. The performance of radiographers and their relationships with others depend upon this internal force. A technologist whose job does not meet his need for acceptance and ego satisfaction is not likely to be productive. Therefore, management must develop an environment that is supportive, caring, and encourages each radiographer to grow.

After controlled bleeding 20 ml/kg enriched infusion fluid containing 0.005 mol/1 adenine, 0.1 mol/1 pyruvate, 0.1 mol/1dibasic sodium phosphate and 0.15 mol/1 sodium chloride was given to 14 dogs. Three dogs received after bleeding the same infusion fluid without adenine. One dog received only dextran after blood withdrawal and served as control Before and after bleeding and 1, 4, 24, 48 and 72 hours after infusion the levels of 2,3-DPG, ATP and P50 index were determined. After infusion of enriched fluid with and without adenine the level of 2,3-DPG and the value of P50 index increased. No rise in the ATP level was observed.
