A geriatric high dependency unit--an innovation in the care of the acutely ill elderly patient?
A geriatric High Dependency Unit has been in operation at Cardiff Royal Infirmary for the past 7 years to provide "special-care" for acutely ill elderly people requiring careful bedside monitoring and intensive nursing and medical treatment. The background to the unit, its present functioning and the results of a prospective study of 432 consecutive admissions are described. The unit offers more appropriate and better continuity of hospital care for many very ill geriatric patients and may be a satisfactory alternative to admission to coronary or intensive care units where resources are not freely available.
