This book discusses all important aspects of emergency medicine in
older people, identifying the particular care needs of this
population, which all too often remain unmet. The up-to-date and
in-depth coverage will assist emergency physicians in identifying
patients at risk for adverse outcomes, in conducting appropriate
assessment,and in providing timely and adequate care. Particular
attention is paid to the commonpitfalls in emergency management
andmeans of avoiding them. Between 1980 and 2013, the number of
older patients in emergency departmentsworldwide doubled. Compared
with younger patients, older people suffer from more comorbidities,
a higher mortality rate, require more complex assessment and
diagnostic testing, and tend to stay longer in the emergency
department. This book, written by internationally recognized
experts in emergency medicine and geriatrics, not only presents the
state of the art in the care of this population but also underlines
the increasing need for adequate training and development in the
field.
