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

272
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

263
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

304
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:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Neurosurgery

Context:

  • Severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss impacts quality of life in older adults.
  • Cochlear implantation is a viable treatment for hearing loss.
  • Limited data exists on cochlear implantation outcomes in elderly patients (>75 years).

Purpose:

  • To assess the safety and efficacy of cochlear implantation in patients aged 75 and older.
  • To evaluate audiological and speech outcomes in this demographic.

Summary:

  • Seven patients over 75 (average age 80) underwent cochlear implantation.
  • All surgeries were safe under general anesthesia, with no major complications.
  • Patients experienced significant improvements in auditory performance and speech intelligibility.

Impact:

  • Cochlear implantation is a safe and beneficial option for elderly patients with hearing loss.
  • This study supports expanding cochlear implant candidacy to older adult populations.
  • Improved hearing and speech can enhance the quality of life for geriatric patients.
