Cuidados estandarizados para el adulto mayor con hidrocefalia de presión normal o crónica del adulto

Abstract

Chronic adult hydrocephalus or normal pressure is a rare cause of dementia in the elderly. It can be caused by various processes that cause both an obstruction of the flow to the subarachnoid space or a difficulty in the absorption of the CSF due to blockage of the meningeal granulations. In this order of ideas it was decided to carry out this review of articles due to the limited information found on standardized care for adults with said condition, thus raising at the end of the literature review the most relevant standardized care that should be taken in the nurse counts when providing post-operative care to patients with this pathology.
