          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Objective: To elaborate and implement, through an educational intervention with the nursing team of the Emergency Unit, strategies that contribute to the management of elderly people suspected/affected by Stroke. Method: Action research with eighteen nursing professionals working in the Emergency Unit of a reference hospital. The data were collected through five pedagogical workshops and systematized through the thematic analysis. Results: After a situational analysis and identification of the difficulties in the management of these elderly, a synthesis chart was prepared with strategic actions, responsible professionals and perspectives for implementation in the short, medium and long term. Short-term strategies had, for the most part, immediate implementation; the others were agreed on the need for further implementation. Final considerations: The educational intervention allowed the construction of strategies that were implemented or agreed with the management for later applicability, sensitizing the group regarding the importance of the qualification and prompt care in the management of the elderly suspected/affected by Stroke.

          RESUMEN Objetivo: Elaborar e implementar, a través de intervención educativa con el grupo de enfermería de la Unidad de Emergencia, estrategias que contribuyan en el manejo de ancianos con sospecha/acometidos por el Accidente Cerebrovascular. Método: Investigación-acción con dieciocho profesionales de enfermería actuantes en la Unidad de Emergencia de un hospital referencia. Los datos fueron recolectados mediante cinco talleres pedagógicos y sistematizados a través del análisis temático. Resultados: Después del análisis situacional e identificación de las dificultades en el manejo de estos ancianos, se elaboró un cuadro síntesis con acciones estratégicas, profesionales responsables y perspectivas para implementación a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Las estrategias a corto plazo tuvieron, en su mayoría, implementación inmediata; las demás fueron pactadas en cuanto a la necesidad de posterior implementación. Consideraciónes finales: La intervención educativa permitió construir estrategias que fueron implementadas o pactadas con la gestión para posterior aplicabilidad, sensibilizando al grupo en cuanto a la importancia de la calificación y pronta atención en el manejo de ancianos con sospecha/acometidos por el Accidente Cerebrovascular.

          Emergency Department Utilization by Older Adults: a Descriptive Study

          Background Emergency Departments (EDs) are playing an increasingly important role in the care of older adults. Characterizing ED usage will facilitate the planning for care delivery more suited to the complex health needs of this population. Methods In this retrospective cross-sectional study, administrative and clinical data were extracted from four study sites. Visits for patients aged 65 years or older were characterized using standard descriptive statistics. Results We analyzed 34,454 ED visits by older adults, accounting for 21.8% of the total ED visits for our study time period. Overall, 74.2% of patient visits were triaged as urgent or emergent. Almost half (49.8%) of visits involved diagnostic imaging, 62.1% involved lab work, and 30.8% involved consultation with hospital services. The most common ED diagnoses were symptom- or injury-related (25.0%, 17.1%. respectively). Length of stay increased with age group (Mann-Whitney U; p < .0001), as did the proportion of visits involving diagnostic testing and consultation (χ2; p < .0001). Approximately 20% of older adults in our study population were admitted to hospital following their ED visit. Conclusions Older adults have distinct patterns of ED use. ED resource use intensity increases with age. These patterns may be used to target future interventions involving alternative care for older adults.

              Emergency demand and repeat attendances by older patients.

              Population ageing is projected to impact on health services utilisation including Emergency Departments (ED), with older patients reportedly having a high rate of return visits. We describe and compare patterns in ED utilisation between older and younger adults, and quantify the proportion and rate of return visits.
