Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.0K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

274
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...

Drug Dosing: Obese Patients

266
In the United States, obesity is a prominent concern. It is linked to heightened mortality rates due to increased occurrences of conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes compared to nonobese individuals. A patient is classified as obese if their actual body weight surpasses the ideal or desirable body weight by 20%, based on Metropolitan Life Insurance Company data. Ideal body weights consider average weights and heights for males and females...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

236
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...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Excretion

261
In pediatric medicine, understanding the renal function and drug elimination nuances is crucial for administering safe and effective treatments. Newborns, in particular, display markedly slower renal functions than adults, profoundly affecting how drugs are cleared from their bodies. This slower drug clearance requires clinicians to extend the dosing intervals for many medications to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity while ensuring therapeutic efficacy.One key area where these adjustments...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Distribution

307
Drug distribution in the pediatric population exhibits unique challenges and considerations due to the physiological differences between children, particularly neonates and infants, and adults. A crucial aspect of pediatric pharmacology is understanding how these differences impact the pharmacokinetics of various drugs, necessitating age-specific dosing strategies to ensure efficacy and safety.Neonates and infants have a higher total body water content, ~75%–90% of their body weight,...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Digestive Health
  • Motility Disorders

Background:

  • Gastroparesis is a growing health concern with limited therapeutic avenues.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on identifying delayed gastric emptying without mechanical blockage.
  • Nontransit motility studies offer valuable complementary data for guiding treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic criteria for gastroparesis.
  • To outline the diverse range of therapeutic interventions for gastroparesis.
  • To emphasize the personalized approach to managing gastroparesis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of diagnostic methods for gastroparesis.
  • Compilation of current treatment modalities, including lifestyle, medication, and surgical options.
  • Analysis of the role of nontransit gastric motility studies.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis is confirmed by delayed gastric emptying, excluding mechanical obstruction.
  • A comprehensive treatment algorithm includes lifestyle adjustments, medications, complementary therapies, endoscopic procedures, and surgery.
  • Treatment plans are individualized based on patient-specific needs and symptom presentation.

Conclusions:

  • Effective gastroparesis management requires a multifaceted approach.
  • Tailoring therapies to individual patients is crucial for optimal outcomes.
  • Further research into novel treatment strategies for gastroparesis is warranted.
