1 Updates in Geriatrics Christopher R. Carpenter, MD, FACEP, AGSF October 24, 2018

2 Disclosure of Relationships Deputy Editor-in-Chief Academic Emergency Medicine Editorial Board ACP Journal Club Journal of the American Geriatrics Society Past-Chair, ACEP Geriatric Section ACEP Clinical Policy Committee Speaker: BEEM and EM Abstracts No commercial relationships, including no Advisory boards/consulting/shareholder Officer or Board Member Speaker s Bureau Intellectual property/patents pending Other relationships

3 Objectives Appraise pertinent new literature & guidelines for ED care of geriatric patients Falls Altered mental status Weakness Review evidence-based approach for common geriatric presentations Examine the utilization and benefits of specialized geriatric EDs or geriatricization of all EDs

4 The Challenges

5 Clinics Geriatric Med 2013; 29: 31-47

6 Ideal World

7 Real World

8 ED Geriatric Admission Rates Across the World

9 Momentum Building

10 The Response

11 Proliferation of Geriatric EDs Academic Emergency Medicine 2014; 21:

12

13 GED Guidelines

14 GED Guidelines & Knowledge Translation Barriers

15

16 Sample Recommendations Medications Nurse & physician education should include medication management Falls evaluation should include polypharmacy (> 5 meds) screen Medication reconciliation with Pharmacy oversight should document high-risk meds

19 Senior-Friendly ED

20 Is Delirium Relevant in ED? When not identified Time and resources wasted Misdiagnosis & malpractice risk Lost opportunity to prevent (some) ED returns and functional decline Present in 8%-10% of elderly in ED but 57%-85% of cases are missed Nagaraj et al Emerg Med Australas 2016; 28: Han JH et al Acad Emerg Med 2014; 21:

21 Delirium Risk Factors Predisposing Cognitive impairment Sleep deprivation Oligoanalgesia Polypharmacy Immobility Visual impairment Hearing impairment Dehydration Precipitating Restraints Malnutrition Foley catheter Nagaraj et al Emerg Med Australas 2016; 28:

22 Han et al Ann Emerg Med 2013; 62:

23 Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale Han et al Acad Emerg Med 2015; 22:

24 Performance of Delirium Screens Tool Positive LR (95% CI) Negative LR (95% CI) CAM Infinite (Spec = 1.0) 0.14 CAM-ICU DTS+Brief CAM Brief CAM 51.3 (21.1 to 124.5) 19.5 (11.7 to 32.5) 16.3 (9.2 to 28.9) 0.28 (0.18 to 0.44) 0.19 (0.10 to 0.34) 0.19 (0.10 to 0.38) Han et al Acad Emerg Med 2014; 21:

25 Preventing Falls Kahn s Geriatric EM Textbook 2014, Chapter 32, p

26 Fall Risk Stratification Caveats Available studies assess risk of falls following an ED evaluation among community dwelling older adults. These instruments do NOT predict: Risk for falls that occur in the ED or hospital Risk for falls among nursing home patients

27 Post-ED Fall Risk Instruments Carpenter 2009 (N=261) Fall in last year Non-healing foot sore Cannot cut own toenails Self-reported depression Tiedemann 2013 (N=158) 2 falls in last year (2) 6 meds (1) Carpenter et al Acad Emerg Med 2014; 21:

Carpenter et al Acad Emerg Med 2014; 21:

29 Age Ageing 2016; 16: 179 Over 600 elderly patients in ED after fall Randomized to de-prescribing of fall risk increasing meds vs. usual care* De-prescribing impossible in 40% and unsuccessful in another 35%, so % using FRID after 12-months 70% vs. 72% No effect on time to first fall * Not in ED

30 Foley Catheter Rosenberg et al Ann Emerg Med 2014; 63: e7-e25

31 Geriatric UTI Asymptomatic bacteruria is common and not associated with adverse outcomes Antibiotics (in asymptomatic bacteruria) risks >> benefits ED vague complaints often prompt UA not testing and/or not treating is a paradigm shift Crnich et al JAGS 2017; 65:

34 GED Guidelines CRITICISMS AND CONCERNS

35 Criticisms Partitioning of the ED Pediatric Oncologic Trauma Stroke Emergency Department Cardiac Geriatric Issues of: Cost/efficiency Need for general expertise among ED MDs Response: In most cases not partitioning, but developing a local expertise/protocols Pediatrics all EDs are capable of handling pediatrics; some specialize Heart centers/stroke centers quality of care

36 Criticisms Evidence Base There is no evidence that any of this improves patient outcomes Responses: Partially correct Geri ED guidelines extrapolated from other settings and current basis Most similar endeavors have lacked evidence early on - pediatric EDs, trauma systems, etc. Geri EDs are already here

37 Clinics Geriatric Medicine 2013; 29: 31-47

38 J Am Geriatr Soc 2014; 62: Northwestern University, 2013 Emergency Medicine nurses with extra geriatric training GEDI nurses reduced ED admissions by 15%

39 J Am Geriatr Soc 2018; 66: Three US ED s Transitional care nurse reduce 30 day re-admissions

40 J Am Geriatr Soc 2018; 66: patients randomized over 3-years Trained nurse, scripted phone follow-up within 3-days of ED discharge

41 Criticisms Know it Alls We are all geriatric ED docs... Response: About process of care as much as anything The Geri ED provides protocols, resources, ancillary staff, etc. Ex: ED obs units work because of the provision of resources and protocols plus some additional expertise Impetus for additional education and research to improve care

42 Current ED Screening Practice Western J Emerg Med 2011; 12:

51 Recap/Conclusions The silver tsunami is an international phenomenon with emerging innovations accelerated by international collaboration An expanding array of free resources exist for pre-hospital, nursing, ED, and post-ed settings Geriatric ED accreditation may be coming to you Effective geriatric care requires a village and wise choices

52 Questions? Contact Information

53 GEM Choosing Wisely #1 Don t use antipsychotics as first choice to treat behavioral & psychological symptoms of dementia

54 GEM Choosing Wisely #2 Don t prescribe a medication without conducting a drug regimen review

55 GEM Choosing Wisely #3 Don t use physical restraints to manage behavioral symptoms of hospitalized older adults with delirium

56 GEM Choosing Wisely #4 Perform a targeted history & physical examination for those who present with fall to identify the etiology and extent of injury

57 GEM Choosing Wisely #5 Avoid placing indwelling catheters in the ED for urine output monitoring in stable patients who can void, or for patient or staff convenience

58 GEM Choosing Wisely #6 Don t recommend a percutaneous feeding tube (PEG) in patients with advanced dementia; instead offer oral feeding

59 GEM Choosing Wisely #7 In patients with confusion, perform a brief screen for delirium & dementia

60 GEM Choosing Wisely #8 Don t use antimicrobials to treat bacteruria in older adults unless specific urinary symptoms

61 GEM Choosing Wisely #9 Don t delay engaging palliative care

62 GEM Choosing Wisely #10 Engage social work early in the patient s visit to identify and address social and logistical needs.
