In this one-hour web-based seminar (webinar) you will learn how to manage the five most common emergencies that occur in the elderly population. Emphasis will be placed on physiologic changes in the geriatric population that predisposes them to illness and injury, and what you can do to detect problems early on and implement interventions to prevent complications. Explore the five most common emergencies in the elderly population:
- Falls
- Change in mental status
- Cardiovascular / cerebrovascular events
- Poly pharmacy
- Abuse and neglect
Emergencies will answer many questions you may have about managing patients with problems of aging; questions such as:
- How can I decrease fall risk?
- What are the most common cardiac and neurological events in the elderly?
- How can I recognize the tell-tale signs of multiple medication effects?
And many more will be answered...
