Challenges in the older adult Objectives Pain management in older adults How to assess How to manage Summary Senior friendly approach Questions References “Homeostenosis” Frail: impaired bio-psychosocial function Multiple comorbidities: Osteoarthritis Osteoporosis Dementia Diabetes Polypharmacy Drug interactions and adverse effects Increased sensitivity to certain medications (e.g., benzodiazepines)

Organ function declines over time in normal, healthy humans, as indicated by Line 1. Chronic disease will accelerate this decline, as noted by Line 2. Acute disease will cause temporary, rapid but reversible declines, as shown by Line 3. Regardless of cause, reserve function is lost when organ function declines into the shaded area.

Remember: Ask about pain regularly and assess pain systematically (do not “set and forget”) Believe the patient and family in their report of pain, and relieving factors Choose pain control options appropriate for the setting, patient and family (think multimodal) Deliver interventions in a timely, logical and coordinated fashion (team approach) Empower (educate) patients and families to take control as much as possible Carr, Eur J Pain 2001 Frenette, Crit Care Clin, 1999 Objectives Pain management in older adults How to assess How to manage Summary Senior friendly approach Questions References How to manage pain

The senior friendly approach Ask leaders to remove barriers to care, and provide education for staff, patients and caregivers. Pain is not due to age! Treat pain as you would for adults of all ages. Always assess for and treat pain in adults with cognitive impairment. Remove barriers such as transportation or cost of non-drug therapies and medications. Make the environment comfortable. How all healthcare providers can address pain using a senior friendly care approach Objectives Pain management in older adults How to assess How to manage Summary Senior friendly approach Questions References Organizational Support Emotional & Behavioural Environment Ethics in Clinical Care and Research Physical Environment Processes of Care Organizational Support Ethics in Clinical Care and Research Processes of Care Emotional & Behavioural Environment Physical Environment
