Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

325
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

764
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...

IV Infusion to Oral Dosing: Conversion Methods

106
The development of extended-release formulations has facilitated the transition from intravenous to oral medication, offering a more convenient and patient-friendly approach to drug administration. This transition, however, requires careful management to ensure that therapeutic drug levels are maintained, preserving efficacy and avoiding adverse effects. Understanding pharmacokinetic principles and dosage calculations is critical during this process.Pharmacokinetics of the...

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

407
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Distribution

299
Drug distribution in the human body is influenced by several factors, including plasma protein concentration, body composition, blood flow, tissue-protein concentration, and tissue fluid pH. Among these, changes in plasma protein concentration and body composition due to aging significantly affect how drugs are distributed within the body. Specifically, aging is associated with a decrease in albumin levels by about 10% and an increase in α1-acid glycoprotein levels. These alterations are...

Parenteral Drug Delivery Systems: Injectables, Implants, and Infusion Devices

57
Parenteral drug delivery systems play a crucial role in modern therapeutics by enabling the direct administration of drugs into the systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. These systems are particularly valuable for poorly absorbed oral medications that are unstable in the digestive environment or require rapid onset or sustained therapeutic levels. Delivery is achieved through intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes, each selected based on the drug's properties...

Summary

Age did not directly predict satisfaction with infusion pumps. However, nurses with higher perceived support showed a positive association between age and satisfaction with infusion pump technology.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Technology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Healthcare Innovation

Background:

  • Age is often negatively correlated with receptiveness to new technologies.
  • Understanding technology adoption among healthcare professionals is crucial for effective implementation.
  • Infusion pumps represent critical technology in patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between nurse age and satisfaction with infusion pump technology.
  • To explore potential moderating factors influencing this relationship.

Main Methods:

  • Hierarchical regression analysis was employed.
  • Data collected from 311 nurses at a midwestern teaching hospital.
  • Examined the predictive power of age on infusion pump satisfaction, considering perceived support.

Main Results:

  • The direct relationship between age and infusion pump satisfaction was not statistically significant.
  • Perceived support for infusion pump use moderated the age-satisfaction relationship.
  • Under low perceived support, older nurses reported lower satisfaction; under high support, older nurses reported higher satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Age alone does not determine satisfaction with infusion pump technology.
  • Perceived organizational support significantly influences how age relates to technology satisfaction.
  • Strategies to enhance perceived support may improve technology adoption and satisfaction across all age groups in nursing.
