In the UK 127,000 people are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, many of whom are frequently admited to hospital. However, Parkinson's disease is not usually the primary cause of admission. Emergency department (ED) nurses must be aware of the medication needs of people with Parkinson's disease and how these can be met in emergency setings to ensure the stability of their condition and to prevent the development of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, a potentially fatal condition caused by abrupt omission of Parkinson's medication. This article highlights the importance of ensuring that patients with Parkinson's disease continue their medication regimen while in an ED, even if they are temporarily unable to swallow, and uses a case study to illustrate various ways of achieving this.
在英国，有12.7万人被诊断患有帕金森病，其中许多人经常住院。然而，帕金森病通常并非住院的主要原因。急诊科护士必须了解帕金森病患者的用药需求，以及如何在紧急情况下满足这些需求，以确保他们病情稳定，并预防神经阻滞剂恶性综合征的发生，这是一种因突然停用帕金森病药物而导致的潜在致命病症。本文强调了确保帕金森病患者在急诊科期间继续其用药方案的重要性，即便他们暂时无法吞咽，并通过一个案例研究来说明实现这一点的各种方法。
