Current Trends in Nursing II

1.2K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

General Anesthesia: Overview

242
Anesthesia is a medical procedure that uses drugs for CNS suppression to enable painless surgeries and procedures. The selection of anesthetics is influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties, side effects, and patient characteristics. Various types of anesthesia include general, local, regional, spinal, and inhalational.
General anesthesia induces unconsciousness in the whole body, while the others target specific areas or sensations. It is administered to minimize adverse effects, maintain...

Stages of General Anesthesia

504
Various sedation levels offer significant advantages in facilitating procedural interventions for patients undergoing medical or invasive surgical procedures. These levels span from anxiolysis to general anesthesia, providing a spectrum of sedative effects to cater to specific patient needs. Anxiolysis reduces anxiety and is achieved through minimal sedation, enabling patients to remain awake and responsive while feeling more at ease during the procedure. This level can benefit minor...

Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview01:24

Parenteral Anesthetics: Overview

155
Intravenous anesthetics are drugs administered parenterally to induce anesthesia or sedation. Propofol is a widely used agent formulated as a 1% emulsion in soybean oil, glycerol, and egg phosphatide. It induces rapid anesthesia primarily due to its rapid distribution from the bloodstream to target tissues and is metabolized in the liver. However, it can cause significant pain on injection and hypertriglyceridemia. Fospropofol, a water-based prodrug of propofol, lacks these adverse effects.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neuroscience
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Frailty is strongly associated with in-hospital delirium in nonsurgical patients.
  • Physical and cognitive frailties correlate with frontal cognitive domain dysfunction.
  • Risk factors for frailty overlap with those for postoperative delirium (POD).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the association between frailty and delirium in nonsurgical patients.
  • To investigate the role of physical and cognitive frailty in cognitive decline.
  • To review anesthetic techniques for preventing postoperative delirium.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on frailty screening and diagnosis.
  • Analysis of studies investigating anesthetic techniques and POD.
  • Examination of the relationship between dementia, delirium, and cognitive decline.

Main Results:

  • A significant association exists between frailty and in-hospital delirium.
  • Frailty impacts frontal cognitive domains, contributing to decline.
  • No definitive anesthetic technique has been proven to reduce POD incidence.

Conclusions:

  • Frailty is a key factor in nonsurgical delirium.
  • Cognitive decline is a consequence of frailty and delirium.
  • Further investigation into preventative strategies, including anesthetic approaches, is warranted.
