Wednesday Lecture Series: Management of Agitation in Patients with Dementia
CZARINA SANTOS-BORJA, MD MEMORIAL LECTURE
This presentation will be broadcast live online on September 16, 2020 from 12:00 noon - 1:00 PM. Go to the Register tab above to learn how to participate for continuing education credit, watch the broadcast and download the slides.
Although agitation is a common complication of dementia, it is a complex problem, which is poorly understood. One factor making it difficult to evaluate is the patient’s inability to communicate how they are feeling clearly. A model of agitation that accounts for neurochemical, interpersonal, and environmental factors can alleviate suffering in patients and caregivers. This lecture will focus on identifying the most common and important factors to identify and evaluate in a patient with dementia when creating a treatment plan.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors, therapists and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
After this lecture you will be able to:
1. Identify common causes of agitation.
2. Evaluate medications that are appropriate for the treatment of delirium.
3. Discuss the role of non-pharmacologic interventions in the treatment of agitation in demented elderly patients.
