1. Consequences of aging

1) Body composition

2) Respiratory system

3) Cardiovascular system

4) Nervous system

5) Renal/hepatic system

6) Blood and immune system

1) Body composition

Anatomic change Loss of skeletal muscle and

other lean tissue components ↑lipid fraction

Functional change Prolonged drug effects ↓metabolism and heat

production ↓ resting cardiac output



Anatomic change ↑ thoracic stiffness ↓ lung recoil ↓alveolar surface area

Functional change ↓Vital capacity / ↑FRC ↓FEV1 Impaired efficiency of

gas exchange



↓Ventilatory response Hypoxia Hypercapnia

Functional change ↓T cell function ↓mucociliary clearnace ↓swallow function


3) Cardiovascular system

Anatomic change ↓elasticity

↓ β-adrenergic responsiveness

Functional change ↓ cardiac and arterial compliance ↓ maximal heart rate ↓ cardiac output

4) Nervous system

Anatomic change Loss of neuronal tissue mass Deafferentation ↓ central neurotransmitter activity

Functional change ↓ neural plasticity ↓ anesthetic requirement Impaired autonomic homeostasis


5) Renal / Hepatic system

Anatomic change ↓vascularity and perfusio

n Loss of tissue mass

Functional change 80 y/o – GFR ↓45% ↓ drug clearance Inability to withstand salt

or water loads

6) Blood and Immune system

Anatomic change Thymic involution Resorption of bone marrow

Functional change Decreased immune compe

tence Loss of hematopoietic rese

Prolonged mechanical ventilationAspiration InhalationHematogenous spread

COPD – Acute exacerbation

Inflammatory damage to small and large airways Destruction of lung parenchyma Limitation of expiratory airflow. ↑ risk of infection Chronic Acute exacerbation

Silent MI

Silent or asymptomatic myocardial ischemia may affect 33 to 49% of older Americans with CAD

gradual progressive coronary artery narrowing A reduced sensitivity to pain because of aging

Delirium

Delirium

Delirium - outcome

Dementia and Delirium

Careful assessment Investigate and treat the cause Well-explanation Avoid pressure damage and abrasion to skinRemove periodicallyReassess the need

Depression

Low moodSadnessInability to experience pleasureChanges in sleep appetite and energyIn some geriatric patients, irritability and

anxiety may be more prominent than sadness

CNS Drugs 1998;9:17– 30

Depression

Prevalence 10-14% major depression 40% depressive disorders

J Am Geriatr Soc 1993;41(11): 1169– 76. Treatment

Providing education and reassurance about medical procedures and prognosis

If the prognosis is poor, support should beprovided early to help patient cope with issues around death and dying.

Minimizing complications

1) Assessment of risk factors Patients Diseases Treatments (iatrogenic)

2) Planning for prevention Standard of care Monitoring Intervention

3) Management of complications ACLS Specific treatments

Silent MI

1) Assessment of risk factors Old age, heavy smoker Hypertension, CAD, DM Stop aspirin and Tapal for surgery

2) Planning for prevention 12-lead EKG and cardiac enzymes Reduce stress and adequate pain control Avoid anemia and hypothermia

3) Management of complications ACLS for ACS PCI or IABP with heparin
