Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Geriatric patients often show varied signs of impaired thermal homeostasis. Understanding thermoregulation, hypothermia, and hyperthermia is crucial for better geriatric care and outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Impaired thermal homeostasis presents diverse symptoms in geriatric patients.
  • Clinical encounters are complicated by vague details and unexpected treatment responses.
  • Geriatric individuals face higher morbidity and mortality from thermoregulation disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review thermoregulation in geriatric patients.
  • To discuss causes and treatments for hypothermia and hyperthermia in the elderly.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on thermoregulation.
  • Analysis of causes and treatments for hypothermia and hyperthermia.

Main Results:

  • Geriatric patients exhibit protean symptoms of thermoregulation impairment.

  • Disorders of thermoregulation increase morbidity and mortality in the elderly.

    • Conclusions:

    • Effective management of hypothermia and hyperthermia is vital in geriatric care.
    • Further research into geriatric thermoregulation is warranted.
