Summary Transcript Summary The proportion of people living with dementia who identify as Black/African Americans is on the rise , and so too are the proportion of caregivers who identify as Black/African American. Why a focus on Black/African American caregivers and people with dementia? We talk in particular about: Terminology.
And that helped them focus on that instead of, say, the blood pressure, the vasopressors or the ventilator settings that day. And then they had to be receiving 48 hours of continuous mechanical ventilation at a minimum and be an adult. Eric: Well, let’s talk about caregivers. Eric: And how did you do that? Eric: Okay.
They’re confused a lot of the time, and so we’re doing a ton of caregiver support. I think one of the challenges, especially about liver, is it doesn’t have a dialysis, it doesn’t have an ecMo, it doesn’t have a ventilator. What’s the goal? What the patient’s wishes are.
If I was somebody where if I had had to miss work, if I was, say, the sole caregiver for kids and I had dealt with side effects, it might have been more of a sacrifice. Govind Persad and Emily Largent appeared first on A Geriatrics and Palliative Care Podcast for Every Healthcare Professional. I was glad to be protected against harm.
But it sounds from your description that the basic concern would arise there too, that whether it’s the patient or the patient’s family caregivers that have values and goals that are promoting comfort oriented care and, oh by the way, they also completed a POLST, that’s entirely plausible. Karl: Okay.
And yet, when the reality of breathing difficulties, BIPAP, the talks of tracheostomy and ventilators set in, what had seemed so clear on that piece of paper, no longer seemed so clear. And this caregiver saying, “I don’t know how much longer I can do this.
Alex 00:54 And Jasmine Santoyo-Olsson, who’s a social behavioral scientist and a fellow in the T32 Research Fellowship at the UCSF Division of Geriatrics. And I have a long interest in identifying family caregivers and supporting them in care delivery. I’m hearing family and caregivers. Excited to be here.
We did the Geriatric 5M approach to telemedicine with Lauren Mo. We sometimes take care of patients who are on home ventilators, so coming in for an office visit is not practically feasible. Brooke: I feel like you’re getting better year after year, so good. Alex: Hope so. So that song was already taken so we can’t do it.
