Fragile Environment

Caring for the elderly mechanically ventilated patient is a challenging and increasingly frequent clinical situation confronting critical nurses. The key complications and states to which the elderly patient is particularly susceptible are nosocomial pneumonia; congestive heart failure; malnutrition; reactions to medications, especially antibiotics, morphine sulfate, and Valium; changes in mental status, and pneumothorax. These can significantly contribute to multisystem deterioration. It is unclear which mode of ventilation is best for sustaining the patient during the course of illness or the weaning process. It is critical to recognize the assessment indicators of failed weaning. Paramount in this assessment are rapid shallow breaths, change in blood pressure of 20 mmHg, change in respiratory rate of more than 10 breaths per minute, tidal volume of less than 250 to 300 mL, a minute ventilation with an increase of 5 L/minute, and an oxygen saturation of less than 90% per pulse oximeter. Research in these areas is needed

Pharmacological Management

Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is defined as a systolic blood pressure (SBP) drop of at least 20 mmHg, or a diastolic blood pressure drop of at least 10 mm Hg within three minutes of standing from a supine position. It can be symptomatic or asymptomatic and is a common condition that can affect up to one in three older people living in the community. The prevalence is higher amongst those with Parkinson's disease and, unsurprisingly, amongst those attending a syncope clinic. The aetiology and pathophysiology of OH have been comprehensively discussed in a previous article in this journal.

The Difference

ABSTRACTBackground: Hypertension is one of the most common diseases, because this disease is suffered byboth men and women, as well as adults and young people. Treatment of hypertension does not onlyrely on medications from the doctor or regulate diet alone, but it is also important to make our bodyalways relaxed. Laughter can help to control blood pressure by reducing endocrine stress andcreating a relaxed condition to deal with relaxation.Objective: The general objective of the study was to determine the effect of laughter therapy ondecreasing elderly blood pressure in UPT Panti Wredha Budhi Dharma Yogyakarta.Methods: The design used in this study is a pre-experimental design study with one group pre-posttestresearch design where there is no control group (comparison). The population in this study wereelderly aged over> 60 years at 55 UPT Panti Wredha Budhi Dharma Yogyakarta. The method oftaking in this study uses total sampling. The sample in this study were 55 elderly. Data analysis wasused to determine the difference in blood pressure before and after laughing therapy with a ratio datascale that was using Pairs T-TestResult: There is an effect of laughing therapy on blood pressure in the elderly at UPT Panti WredhaBudhi Dharma Yogyakarta marked with a significant value of 0.000 (P <0.05)
