This work is intended as a brief but focused compilation to assist with diagnosis and management of the most common serious medical problems in the rapidly growing geriatric population. The geriatric population recently expanded by the fact that the baby boomers have reached the milestone of 65 years of age in the past 5 years. Tips for diagnosis, medication administration, and logistics of cost-effective management in the health-care continuum are presented in this book. The latter often consists of a journey from home to medical office to emergency room to hospital bed to intensive care unit to long-term acute care hospital to skilled nursing facility to long-term residential facility and/or back home, which is also reviewed in the book Geriatrics.

Introduction : Bien qu’à l’heure actuelle, la plupart des unités de soins intensifs pour adultes fonctionnent avec des heures de visites restreintes, une politique de visites flexibles est recommandée pour des soins axés sur les patients et leur famille. Malgré cela, on observe que les soins axés sur la famille sont l'exception plutôt que la règle dans de nombreuses unités de soins intensifs pour adultes. Il parait donc essentiel d'explorer les obstacles qui entravent l'adoption d'une politique de visites ouvertes dans les unités de soins intensifs pour adultes.
Objectif de l’étude : Explorer les obstacles et les leviers rencontrés chez les patients, leur famille et le personnel soignant lors de l’implémentation d’une politique d’heures de visites flexibles aux soins intensifs du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU), sur le site du Sart Tilman de Liège et sur le site de Notre-Dame des Bruyères (NDB).
Méthodologie : Etude qualitative avec une approche phénoménologique sur base d’un raisonnement inductif. La collecte des données se fait au moyen d’entretiens semi-dirigés et ouverts. L’étude est réalisée au sein de 3 populations : les patients, leurs familles et le personnel soignant. L’étude est réalisée dans les différentes unités de soins intensifs du CHU de Liège. 
Adaptations Covid-19 : En raison de la pandémie à Covid-19, la réalisation de l’étude sur le terrain n’a pas été possible. Afin d’apporter quelques éléments de réponse à l’objectif principal, des entretiens semi-dirigés ont été réalisés auprès de soignants travaillant au sein de services de soins intensifs de différents hôpitaux de la région liégeoise.
Analyse et discussion : Les entretiens ont permis de mettre en évidence certains freins et leviers chez les soignants quant aux heures de visites. Ces données ne constituent pas les résultats de l’étude mais plutôt une piste de ce que pourrait révéler l’étude au sein de la population « soignants ». 
L’analyse réflective et critique du protocole de recherche, à l’aide de la grille COREQ et de l’outil SWOT, a permis d’évaluer la pertinence et la faisabilité du projet. Introduction : Although most adult intensive care units currently operate with restricted visiting hours, a flexible visiting policy is recommended for patient and family-centered care. Despite this, family-centered care is observed to be the exception rather than the rule in many adult intensive care units. It therefore seems essential to explore the obstacles which hinder the adoption of a policy of open visits in intensive care units for adults.
Objectives : Explore the obstacles and levers encountered by patients, their families and caregivers during the implementation of a policy of flexible visiting hours in the intensive care of the University Hospital Center (CHU), on the Sart Tilman of Liège site and on the site of Notre-Dame des Bruyères (NDB).
Methods : Qualitative study with a phenomenological approach based on inductive reasoning. Data collection is done through semi-structured interviews. The study is carried out in 3 populations: patients, their families and caregivers. The study is carried out in the different intensive care units of the CHU de Liège.
Covid-19 adaptations: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, carrying out the field study was not possible. In order to provide some answers to the main objective, semi-structured interviews were carried out with caregivers working in the intensive care departments of various hospitals in the region of Liège.
Analysis and discussion : The interviews made it possible to highlight certain obstacles and levers among caregivers regarding visiting hours. These data do not constitute the results of the study but rather a track of what the study might reveal within the "caregiver" population.
The reflective and critical analysis of the research protocol using the COREQ grid and the SWOT tool made it possible to assess the relevance and feasibility of the project.
