Surgical and anesthetic techniques have evolved to allow a growing
number of older adults to undergo surgery, and current estimates
are that 50% of Americans over the age of 65 years old will have an
operation. However, as the knowledge regarding perioperative care
of the elderly surgical patient grows, so do the questions. In this
edition, each chapter includes a section entitled "Gaps in Our
Knowledge," meant to highlight areas in which research is needed,
as well as hopefully inspire readers to begin solving some of these
questions themselves. Building upon the strong foundation of the
first two editions, Geriatric Anesthesiology, 3rd edition also
assembles the most up-to-date information in geriatric anesthesia
and provides anesthesiologists with important new
developments.Topics covered include several new chapters that
reflect the evolution of multidisciplinary geriatric care
throughout the perioperative continuum, as well as the growing body
of literature related to prehabilitation. In addition, discussion
of the surgeon's perspective and geriatrician's perspective on
surgery in the geriatric population is covered, as well as the
systematic physiologic changes associated with aging and the
pharmacologic considerations for the geriatric patient undergoing
procedures. Finally, the last section discusses postoperative care
specific to the geriatric population, including acute pain
management, ICU management, recent evidence and up-to-date practice
regarding delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and
palliative care.
