Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on continuous and deep sedation maintained until death (CDSUD) in palliative care, especially for patients experiencing refractory suffering or who request to stop life-sustaining treatment.
- - A retrospective analysis of 42 hospitalized patients showed that 79% initiated CDSUD due to persistent suffering, with midazolam as the primary sedative, often combined with chlorpromazine and propofol.
- - Findings reveal an average sedation duration of 37 hours, with specific dosages for each sedative, contributing valuable insights into CDSUD practices in palliative care settings.
Objectives: Among patients over 75 years, little is known about functional decline due to COVID-19. The aim of this study was to explore this functional decline, compare to other infectious pneumonia.
Design And Setting: This case-control study included all COVID-19 patients hospitalized from March to December 2020 in Acute Geriatric Ward in Nantes University Hospital matched 1/1 with patients with pneumonia hospitalized in geriatric department between March 2017 and March 2019 (controls) on sex, age.
Background: Aging is one of the most important prognostic factors increasing the risk of clinical severity and mortality of COVID-19 infection. However, among patients over 75 years, little is known about post-acute functional decline.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with functional decline 3 months after COVID-19 onset, to identify long term COVID-19 symptoms and transitions between frailty statesafter COVID-19 onset in older hospitalized patients.
