Article Synopsis
- Older adults often face declining organ function and changes in how their bodies process medications, making them more vulnerable to medication-related problems in emergency situations.
- A study at Universitas Airlangga Teaching Hospital found that 55% of older patients admitted to the emergency department received at least one potentially inappropriate medication (PIM), and the overall complexity of their medication regimens was high, with an average complexity index score of 17.23.
- Risk factors for receiving PIMs included polypharmacy and specific health issues like circulatory, endocrine, and digestive diseases, while respiratory diseases and polypharmacy were linked to greater medication complexity.
Sepsis cases caused substantial mortality and a significant burden on healthcare costs and resources. To tackle this problem, there has been discussion surrounding O2 parameters as it has a distinct outcome in septic patients. This review aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the central venous-arterial carbon dioxide difference (PCO2) gap in patients with septic shock.

Aim: To analyse the relationship between preoperative perfusion index and post-anaesthetic shivering in patients undergoing caesarean section with spinal anaesthesia.
