Idratazione con ipodermoclisi nel paziente anziano
L’ipodermoclisi è una tecnica che consiste nella
somministrazione di fluidi nel tessuto sottocutaneo per
il trattamento della disidratazione da lieve a moderata. L’articolo
parte dal caso di un uomo di 74 anni che, a seguito
di un accidente cerebrovascolare, era incapace di assunzione
orale, ed è stato idratato tramite ipodermoclisi continua,
per 45 giorni consecutivi favorendo un recupero psico-
fisico delle condizioni cliniche. Vengono presentate le
conoscenze più aggiornate sull’uso dell’ipodermoclisi ed un
commento al caso
