Approach to geriatric patients in emergency services
Öz: Geriatrik hastalar acil servisler için özel bir topluluğu temsil etmektedir. Yaşlı insanlar genellikle gençlere göre daha sık ve ağır durumda acil servislere başvurmaktadır. Geriatrik popülasyondaki hızlı artışa bağlı olarak acil servislerin bu hastaların bakımını karşılayacak destekleri geliştirmesi önem kazanmaktadır. Bu yazımızda acil servis çalışanlarına acil servislere başvuran geriatrik yaş grubundaki hastalara yaklaşımda önem arz eden ve dikkat edilmesi gereken noktaları bir bütün halinde sunmayı amaçladık. Acil hekimlerinin geriatrik hastalar ile ilgili düşünceleri; eğitimleri sırasında geriatrik sorunlar üzerine yetersiz zaman harcanması ve geriatri konusunda acil tıp araştırmalarının yetersiz olmasıdır. Sonuç olarak, yaşlı istismarı, düşme, depresyon, alkolizm ve malnütrisyon gibi önemli konuların ortaya çıkarılmasında acil servis hekimleri anahtar rol oynayabilir. Acil servis çalışanları için geriatrik acil durumları tanımaya yönelik eğitim modellerinin ve protokollerin oluşturulmasının acil servislerde geriatrik hastalara bakımın kalitesini artıracağını düşünmekteyiz.

Acil servislerde geriatrik hastalara yaklaşım
Öz: Geriatric patients represent a special group for emergency services. Geriatric patients usually apply to emergency services in more frequent and more severe situations than younger patients. Due to the rapid rise in the geriatric population, development of reinforcements in order to supply care for these patients becomes a more urgent issue for emergency services. In this paper, we aimed to present points which are important considerations in the management of geriatric group patients admitted to emergency room for emergency service workers, as a whole. It has been shown in many studies that there has been inadequate information and education for emergency physi- cians and nurses in identifying geriatric emergency situations. The majority of emergency physicians feel that inadequate time is spent on geriatric issues in residency, and that research in geriatric emergency medicine is inadequate. As a result, emergency physicians may play a key role in detecting important issues such as elder abuse, falling down, depression, alcoholism and malnutrition. We think that the creation of educational models and protocols for the recognition of geriatric emergency situations for emergency service workers will improve the quality of care given to geriatric patients in emergency services.
