3- The Problem of late Comas
Answers
I think your question is,,,,,the problem of late comers.......
According to that,,,you can see in the attachment..
Step-by-step explanation:
The physiological changes induced by age tend to weaken the elderly and increases the consumption level of care. Due to this fact, the increase in life expectancy of the population accounts from more frequent care of the elderly intensive care units (ICUs),[1] the capital of the old age, according to WHO is generally set at 60 years. In a recent study in North America, including 10 900 patients, approximately 50% were aged over 60 years.[2] In 1996 in the Ivory Coast compiled 300 cases of impaired consciousness on 6875 admissions[3] whether 5.06%. In Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care of Gabriel TOURE Teaching Hospital in Mali a similar study to the above[4] found 53.4% of cases of impaired consciousness with 25.38% of coma in particular. Different disorders of consciousness are generally understood as deficits or the mechanical effects of exogenous.[5] These disorders of consciousness create an emergency that must be overcome immediately. However, in our context, the lack of technical equipment makes it difficult and mostly hypothetical etiologic diagnosis.
Even if the definition of elderly is more physiological than chronological, support the elderly poses several problems:
In terms of frequency, improved medical and surgical techniques and increased life expectancy are increasing the admission of elderly patients in ICU.
In terms of ethics, the discussion about the probability of survival of the “patient” limits “aggressive therapy.”
In economic terms, the cost of intensive care is very high.
