Hydration status of geriatric patients in a psychiatric hospital.

Dehydration negatively impacts geriatric hospitalization outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the hydration status of psychogeriatric inpatients and explore possible factors for dehydration. A descriptive, retrospective chart review of patients discharged from a psychogeriatric unit was completed. Clinical and biochemical information was collected at three time points (admission, mid-point, and discharge). Results [...]

Influence of graded dehydration on hyperthermia and cardiovascular drift during exercise.

This investigation determined the effect of different rates of dehydration, induced by ingesting different volumes of fluid during prolonged exercise, on hyperthermia, heart rate (HR), and stroke volume (SV). On four different occasions, eight endurance-trained cyclists [age 23 +/- 3 (SD) yr, body wt 71.9 +/- 11.6 kg, maximal O2 consumption 4.72 +/- 0.33 l/min] [...]

Fluid replacement after dehydration: influence of beverage carbonation and carbohydrate content

This investigation evaluated the effects of beverage carbonation and carbohydrate (CHO) content on fluid replacement following exercise/thermal dehydration. On four occasions separated by at least 7 days, eight healthy men cycled at 50% of VO2max in a hot environmental chamber (40 degrees C, 40% relative humidity) until a weight loss of 4.12 +/- 0.22% was [...]

Promoting hydration in patients with dementia in healthcare settings.

This is the second article in a series of five on dementia. It aims to enhance nurses' understanding of dehydration in patients with dementia. Research shows that dehydration is present in up to one quarter of older patients and patients with dementia are likely to have an even higher risk. Dehydration may be harder to [...]

Dehydration syndromes. Oral rehydration and fluid replacement

Dehydration caused by diarrhea remains a major source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Dehydration is a common clinical presentation seen by most physicians. Clinical diagnosis depends on the recognition of signs and symptoms as well as change in weight. Laboratory studies are helpful in categorizing the dehydration as isotonic, hyponatremic, or hypernatremic, which is necessary [...]

Use of a urine color chart to monitor hydration status in nursing home residents.

To determine whether urine color, as measured by a color chart, might be a valid indicator of hydration status in frail nursing home residents, this study tested the associations between urine color and urine specific gravity. This is a descriptive correlational study set in seven nursing homes in eastern Iowa. Ninety-eight nursing home residents > [...]

Dehydration in the elderly: insidious and manageable.

Dehydration in the elderly results from inadequate water replacement, and associated mortality may be high when dehydration is severe. The elderly are at an elevated risk for dehydration, due to decreased thirst perception, decreased water intake, abnormal vasopressin responses to osmotic stimuli, and a predisposition to mild nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. In addition, elderly patients with [...]

A typology of oral hydration problems exhibited by frail nursing home residents.

Dehydration remains a substantial problem for nursing home residents, often with poor health outcomes. The purpose of this investigation was to establish 6-month prevalence of dehydration events in nursing home residents and to describe common hydration problems of nursing home residents. In this prospective observational study, 35 nursing home residents were followed for 6 months [...]
