Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age01:27

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

257
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...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

309
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...

Nursing Assessment

9.6K
The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...

Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

2.0K
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,...

Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

4.5K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Hospital Administration
  • Healthcare Innovation

Background:

  • Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is central to Geriatric Medicine.
  • CGA significantly improves outcomes for hospital inpatients, including survival and home duration.
  • Traditional CGA delivery involves specialized teams on dedicated wards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore emerging models for delivering CGA in acute hospital settings.
  • To provide an overview of innovations in CGA services for inpatients.
  • To document the shift of CGA delivery to earlier stages of admission and diverse settings.

Main Methods:

  • Literature scan of recent publications.
  • Inclusion of observational studies and service evaluations.
  • Review of service descriptions from conference abstracts.

Main Results:

  • New models for CGA delivery are emerging in hospitals.
  • CGA is increasingly implemented at the 'front door' of admissions.
  • Expansion of CGA into specialty areas like surgical, pre-operative, and oncology care.

Conclusions:

  • Innovative CGA delivery models are transforming inpatient geriatric care.
  • Early and integrated CGA improves patient outcomes.
  • The landscape of CGA services for hospital inpatients is rapidly evolving.
