“…More recent studies already examine long lie independent of the factors of age, cause, and/or lying time [ 21 , 24 , 29 , 31 , 33 , 34 ], but it now needs studies with a larger number of cases in a prospective and longitudinal design. In addition, there is an increasing demand to understand how people experience long lies psychologically and social, as previous studies have mainly focused on the acute and long-term physical consequences [ 7 – 11 , 20 – 22 , 24 , 26 – 31 , 33 , 38 , 39 , 41 ]. This requires qualitative studies that are methodologically credible and explicitly ask about the psychological and social aspects of the experience.…”

Background & aims The term “long lie” is often used when individuals who have fallen are unable to stand up on their own, so they have to lie unintentionally for a longer period of time until they are noticed and can be helped. Although long lie can lead to both short- and long-term physical and psychological effects, little is known about what describes the term. The aim of this review is to identify what characterizes the term. Methods Using the Arksey and O’Malley’s framework for scoping reviews in accordance with the modified Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses framework, a systematic search was conducted for papers and gray literature that define, explain, or describe a long lie. The literature research was conducted via seven databases and Google Scholar. Findings The search yielded 921 hits, of which 22 research papers are included; most studies were published after 2010. Emergency medicine and public health in particular have studied long lies and have found that it does not only affect the older adults who have fallen and cannot stand up on their own because of their frailty but also individuals with restricted mobility, which can be related to several reasons. Conclusions The results show that a standard concept of a long lie is lacking. The duration of lying and the location alone are not relevant criteria. Further factors (helplessness, psychological and physical consequences, etc.) should also be taken into account.

“…A severe consequence of falling is when an individual lies dormant on the floor unaccompanied for a longer time (Fleming and Brayne, 2008). This brings serious consequences like hypothermia, pneumonia, pressure sores, rhabdomyolysis, and dehydration (Wild et al, 1981;Marcus et al, 1992). There are various categorized solutions for detecting falls in the elderly, including Non-Wearable Systems (NWS), Wearable Systems (WS), and fusion or hybrid systems (FS) (Chaccour et al, 2017).…”

This paper is a review of the current state of IoT-based technologies in the healthcare field for the elderly population. The increasing population of elderly people has led to a greater demand for healthcare services to meet their unique needs. IoT-based technologies have emerged as a promising solution to address this demand. The paper analyzes the current trends, challenges, and future opportunities for research in this area. It highlights how IoT-based technologies can be utilized to improve healthcare for older adults, from remote monitoring and telemedicine to fall detection and medication management. The paper also acknowledges that there are still challenges to be addressed, such as data privacy and security, but the potential benefits for older adults outweigh the challenges. The paper also examines the impact of the industrial revolution on the aging population and the corresponding increase in demand for geriatric healthcare. In summary, this paper delves into the current status of IoT-based technologies in geriatric healthcare and its future prospects, with a focus on addressing the needs of the aging population and improving their quality of life.

Bedrail‐related rhabdomyolysis caused by abdominal wall injury

A 77-year-old woman with a residual right hemiparesis following a subarachnoid hemorrhage was found lying over a bedrail at home. She lived alone, and we suspect that she was reaching for the telephone when she fell over the bedrail. Her right flank was red and swollen. Abdominal computed tomography showed marked swelling of the muscles of the right lateral abdominal wall. She had an established rhabdomyolysis compressed by the bedrail and acute renal failure. This case illustrated bedrail-related rhabdomyolysis caused by abdominal wall injury. The use of bedrails is a risk of the injury for the frail elderly people and should be avoided to prevent bedrail-related injuries. Health professionals should consider home environmental factors so that the frail elderly people can easily move and carry out their daily life activities.

Occult Elevation of CK as a Manifestation of Rhabdomyolysis in the Elderly

Abstract: Elevation of CK with few other clinical features of rhabdomyolysis is common in admissions to a geriatric service. It is due to complete immobilization resulting from acute illness. Renal failure is mild and reversible, and the prognosis for recovery is excellent.
