Corinne Inchauste sabe reconocer a un residente deshidratado en cuanto lo ve. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPasan de estar activos y salir a quedarse simplemente sentados\u201d, explica Inchauste, responsable diet\u00e9tico certificado del Spectrum Health Rehab and Nursing Center de Grand Rapids, M\u00edchigan. \u201cSe est\u00e1n apagando, se est\u00e1n debilitando\u201d.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

La debilidad y el letargo se encuentran entre los s\u00edntomas m\u00e1s leves de la deshidrataci\u00f3n en las personas mayores. Una ingesta insuficiente de l\u00edquidos tambi\u00e9n puede provocar infecciones del tracto urinario. Adem\u00e1s, puede impedir la cicatrizaci\u00f3n de las \u00falceras por presi\u00f3n y provocar desnutrici\u00f3n, ya que los l\u00edquidos transportan los nutrientes por todo el cuerpo. La p\u00e9rdida de peso, la diarrea y el estre\u00f1imiento tambi\u00e9n son efectos secundarios de la deshidrataci\u00f3n. La deshidrataci\u00f3n extrema puede provocar la muerte. <\/span><\/p>\n

Conseguir que los pacientes y residentes ingieran suficientes l\u00edquidos \u2014aproximadamente 3,7 litros al d\u00eda para un hombre mayor de 70 a\u00f1os y 2,7 litros para una mujer mayor de 70, seg\u00fan la Academia de Nutrici\u00f3n y Diet\u00e9tica\u2014 es m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil de decir que de hacer. Las personas mayores pueden olvidarse de beber; a aquellas que padecen disfagia o demencia les puede resultar f\u00edsicamente dif\u00edcil tragar l\u00edquidos. <\/span><\/p>\n

9 consejos para una hidrataci\u00f3n adecuada de los residentes<\/span><\/h2>\n

1) Mantener agua en las habitaciones<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Una jarra de 16 onzas de agua fresca, al alcance de la cama o la silla del residente, ayudar\u00e1 a animarle a beber. Las marcas de nivel de la botella pueden ayudar al personal a llevar un control del consumo de agua, afirma Bonnie Minsky, especialista certificada en nutrici\u00f3n y propietaria de Nutritional Concepts, una consultor\u00eda de nutrici\u00f3n con sede en Northbrook, Illinois.<\/p>\n

2) Ten siempre bebidas a mano<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00abEso significa tanto durante las actividades como a la hora de la merienda y las comidas\u00bb, explica Inchauste. Los carritos de hidrataci\u00f3n, equipados con <\/span>agua con sabor a fruta<\/a> (la sand\u00eda y el pepino son muy populares) tambi\u00e9n pueden animar a los residentes a beber y ayudar al personal a acordarse de mantenerlos hidratados, afirma.<\/p>\n

3) Pensar m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del agua<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Aunque el agua es la mejor fuente de hidrataci\u00f3n, el zumo de ar\u00e1ndanos o de uva tambi\u00e9n funciona bien. Las bebidas de colores vivos, sobre todo las de tono rojizo, resultan atractivas para los pacientes con demencia, afirma Inchauste. <\/span><\/p>\n

4) No te limites a los l\u00edquidos<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Para quienes prefieran comer en lugar de beber, ofr\u00e9zcales alimentos con un alto contenido en agua, como verduras finamente picadas o en pur\u00e9, caldos y consom\u00e9s bajos en sodio, gelatina, helado y sorbete. <\/span><\/p>\n

5) Ten en cuenta los alimentos que provocan deshidrataci\u00f3n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Los alimentos con alto contenido en sodio provocan la p\u00e9rdida de agua del organismo, al igual que los az\u00facares, algunos edulcorantes artificiales y la cafe\u00edna, afirma Minsky. Plant\u00e9ese sustituirlos por alimentos hidratantes: frutas y verduras frescas, cortadas en trozos lo suficientemente peque\u00f1os como para que los residentes puedan comerlas sin dificultad. Caliente los trozos en el microondas durante 10 o 15 segundos para ablandarlos y que sean m\u00e1s f\u00e1ciles de masticar, aconseja. <\/span><\/p>\n

6) Proporcionar vasos adaptados y pr\u00e1cticos para pacientes con disfagia<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Inchauste recomienda el uso de vasos con boquilla y vasos \u201cnosy\u201d, que permiten a los usuarios apoyar la barbilla mientras beben, para ayudar a los residentes con dificultades para tragar. Los l\u00edquidos m\u00e1s espesos, como los batidos o las sopas trituradas (que no est\u00e9n muy calientes), pueden consumirse lentamente y tambi\u00e9n ayudan a mantener hidratados a los residentes con disfagia. <\/span><\/p>\n

7) Mant\u00e9n un seguimiento de los residentes que toman diur\u00e9ticos<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan Minsky, siete de cada diez personas mayores toman un diur\u00e9tico o un medicamento con efecto diur\u00e9tico. Estos medicamentos previenen la hinchaz\u00f3n, como el edema, pero tambi\u00e9n provocan deshidrataci\u00f3n; las personas que los toman deben estar muy atentas a su hidrataci\u00f3n. <\/span><\/p>\n

8) Plant\u00e9ate tomar agua con electrolitos<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

La deshidrataci\u00f3n altera el equilibrio electrol\u00edtico del organismo, lo que puede provocar arritmias y paradas card\u00edacas, afirma Minsky. Para evitarlo, se recomienda ofrecer a determinados residentes agua con electrolitos, como SmartWater, en lugar de bebidas deportivas con alto contenido en az\u00facar. El agua con electrolitos hidrata y aporta a los pacientes potasio y magnesio, compuestos necesarios para mantener el coraz\u00f3n en buen estado. Los pl\u00e1tanos tambi\u00e9n contienen ambos compuestos y son hidratantes, a\u00f1ade Minsky. <\/span><\/p>\n

9) Comunicarse con los residentes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Informa a los residentes de que deben beber m\u00e1s l\u00edquido y p\u00eddeles que te ayuden a conseguirlo. Esto podr\u00eda resultar m\u00e1s eficaz que una jarra de agua o un carrito de hidrataci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEs realmente incre\u00edble cuando se involucra a los residentes en su propio cuidado\u201d, afirma Inchauste.<\/span><\/p>\n
