Continuing Care

2.1K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

357
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...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

813
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...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

324
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...

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Anesthesia
  • Palliative Care
  • Perioperative Medicine

Background:

  • Elderly patients face elevated perioperative risks.
  • Palliative care principles can address these risks.
  • Advanced care planning is crucial for goal alignment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the integration of palliative care in geriatric perioperative settings.
  • To highlight the role of advanced care planning in managing patient-provider goal conflicts.
  • To inform geriatric anesthesiologists about palliative care's impact.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current palliative care integration strategies.
  • Analysis of advanced care planning's role in perioperative decision-making.
  • Discussion of cultural and religious barriers in geriatric anesthesia.

Main Results:

  • Palliative care integration is increasing in specific perioperative groups.
  • Advanced care planning facilitates goal concordance, reducing dilemmas.
  • Cultural and religious factors present challenges for anesthesiologists.

Conclusions:

  • Palliative care and advanced care planning are vital for optimizing care in seriously ill geriatric patients.
  • Geriatric anesthesiologists must understand and apply these principles.
  • Proactive integration enhances patient outcomes and aligns care with patient values.
