Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption01:22

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Transitions between nursing homes (NHs) and emergency departments (EDs) are often fragmented and unmet needs are common. This study identifies factors for successful NH-ED transitions to improve care for frail older adults.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Healthcare Management
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Nursing home (NH) residents frequently experience fragmented care during transitions to and from emergency departments (EDs).
  • A significant proportion of residents and family caregivers report unmet needs during these critical care transitions.
  • This research aims to improve the quality of care for frail older adults during NH-ED transitions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define successful and unsuccessful elements of NH-ED transitions from multiple perspectives.
  • To develop and validate a tool for assessing transition success.
  • To identify organizational and individual factors influencing transition success and inform quality improvement.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods observational study utilizing an integrated knowledge translation (IKT) approach.
  • Data collected from multiple levels (facility, unit, individual) and sources (providers, residents, records, databases).

Main Results:

  • Preliminary findings will inform practice and policy discussions.
  • The study investigates the complexities of NH-ED transitions.
  • Focus on identifying opportunities for evidence-informed management and quality improvement.

Conclusions:

  • An integrated knowledge translation (IKT) approach using a partnership model is key to study success.
  • Equal participation of decision-makers and researchers in all study phases ensures robust findings.
  • The study aims to enhance the potential for successful and sustained improvements in NH-ED transitions.
