This innovative, comprehensive book covers the key elements of
perioperative management of older patients. The book's chapter
structure coincides with the clinical path patients tread during
their treatment, from preoperative evaluation to post-hospital
care. Epidemiological aspects and aging processes are illustrated,
providing keys to understanding the quick expansion of geriatric
surgery and defining the clinical profile of older surgical
patients in a cybernetic perspective. Preoperative evaluation and
preparation for surgery, including medication reconciliation and
pre-habilitation, are developed in the light of supporting
decision-making about surgery in an evidence-based and
patient-focused way. Intra- and postoperative management are
discussed, aiming to tailor anesthetic, surgical and nursing
approaches to specific patients' needs, in order to prevent both
general and age-related complications. This volume also addresses
issues relevant to geriatric surgery, from different organizational
models to clinical risk management and systems engineering applied
to hospital organization.
