Geriatric Trauma and Critical Care provides a multidisciplinary
overview of the assessment and management of the elderly patient
presenting with surgical pathology. By utilizing current literature
and evidence-based resources, the textbook elucidates the unique
nature of caring for the elderly population. The structure of the
volume provides the reader with an overview of the physiologic and
psychological changes, as well as the impact on the healthcare
system, associated with the aging process. Emphasis is placed on
the impact of aging, pre-existing medical problems, effects of
polypharmacy, advanced directives and end-of-life wishes on acute
surgical problems, including trauma and surgical critical care.
Special attention is given to the ethical implications of
management of the aged. The multidisciplinary contributors provide
a unique point of view not common to surgical texts. The textbook
is the definitive resource for practicing surgeons, emergency
medicine physicians, intensivists, anesthesiologists, hospitalists,
geriatricians, as well as surgical residents, nurses and
therapists, all who care for elderly patients with surgical
emergencies.
