Abstract

The prevalence of the most frequent arrhythmias was studied in a geriatric day hospital. Patients older than 65 years have been considered, of them 118 were normotensive and 56 hypertensive subjects. Comparison of the two groups revealed no statistically significant difference either in the frequency of occurrence or in the type of arrhythmias. Dividing the hypertensive patients in the Lown's classes, only those of class 3 or over displayed a considerably higher frequency of arrhythmias than the normotensive subjects. The results demonstrate the age-dependent increase of the prevalence of arrhythmias in general, and the increased occurrence of complex ventricular types in the hypertensive subjects.

Author

Abstract

A panoramic survey is outlined regarding the care system of terminally ill oncologic patients with particular regard to the elderly. National and international experiences are considered offering a caregiving service out of hospital, in small dwelling centers being able to relieve the sufferings of the last days of life. The caregiving sanitary residences and hospices are inserted in a network of services for the elderly oncological patients, representing an adequate answer for the problems. In those structures there is a need of proper professional sanitary figures and standardized lodgings, which may be of importance in the maintenance of a good quality of life. In addition, this study emphasizes the caregiving activity of the family and the needs of the caregivers, as well as the proper instruction of them through courses of specialization. New figures should be inserted in the hospices, like the volunteers, the animators and spiritual assistants; their help is inevitably necessary to assure a better care during the last days of life.
