TAILIEUCHUNG - HAZARDS OF HOSPITALIZATION OF THE ELDERLY

We have mainly regarded elderly people’s use of information technology in their daily lives as ICT training of elderly people. We have also discussed the possibilities and limitations that technology raises for information, activity and for better contact with others. The use of ICT in nursing and care of elderly people mainly implies in this connection the use of smart-home technology in houses for old people and people with dementia. This technology involves the use of integrated ICT components. Examples of such smart-home technology/caring technology are among other things photoelectric cells (sensors) that can automatically detect dangerous situations such as. | Hazards of Hospitalization of the Elderly - Creditor 118 3 219 - Annals of Internal M.

Creditor 1 February 1993 I Volume 118 Issue 3 I Pages 219-223 For many older persons hospitalization results in functional decline despite cure or repair of the condition for which they were admitted. Hospitalization can result in complications unrelated to the problem that caused admission or to its specific treatment for reasons that are explainable and avoidable. Usual aging is often associated with functional change such as a decline in muscle strength and aerobic capacity vasomotor instability reduced bone density diminished pulmonary ventilation altered sensory continence appetite and thirst and a tendency toward urinary incontinence. Hospitalization and bed rest superimpose factors such as enforced immobilization reduction of plasma volume accelerated bone loss increased closing volume and sensory deprivation. Any of these factors may thrust vulnerable older persons into a state of irreversible functional decline.
