Possible Risks ot Spa Treatment in Patients ot Advanced Age
MOŽNÉ RIZIKÁ KÚPELNEJ LIEČBY U PACIENTOV VYŠŠIEHO VEKU
Kúpel'ná liečba zretel'ne zlepšuje kvalitu života aj I'ud'om starším ako 70 rokov, preto vyšší vek nie je kontraindikáciou kúpel'nej liečby. Starší pacienti s kompenzovanou ischemickou chorobou srdca dobre tolerujú aj hypertermálne procedúry. Celková záťaž kúpel'nou liečbou však musí rešpektovať stav kardiovaskulárneho ústrojenstva. Zvýšené riziko omylov prináša vyšetrenie starších pacientov, ak prichádzajú do kúpel'ov bez zdravotnej dokumentácie, zabudnú si doma lieky a nevedla si spomenúť na dóležité údaje z anamnézy. Prípady možného rizika kúpel'nej liečby u pacientov vyššieho veku sú demonštrované na troch kazuistikách.
