Cardiothoracic Surgery in the Elderly: Evidence Based Practice is
an important and timely book that reflects the thoughtful work of
pioneers in geriatric surgery. It encompasses their knowledge
related to geriatric surgery, and their reflections and guidance on
the rapidly accumulating knowledge related to improving the health
and surgical care of seniors. This book provides a scholarly review
of the constantly expanding knowledge base about cardiovascular and
thoracic surgery in seniors. The book follows a logical sequence
covering general aspects of care, cardiac surgery and thoracic
surgery. Chapters are focused on common, devastating and often
missed complications of surgical care in the seniors. These include
delirium, depression, pressure sores, functional losses,
incontinence, volume depletion and asymptomatic or atypical
complications -myocardial infarction, post-operative diarrhea,
urinary track infections and pneumonia. Each is expertly reviewed.
Strategies to help the surgeons and the surgical team anticipate,
recognize and effectively prevent or manage such problems are
discussed and the evidence basis for such strategies is provided.
Cardiothoracic Surgery in the Elderly: Evidence Based Practice is
particularly timely and the first to review the substantial body of
knowledge that has been developed in recent years related to
geriatric cardiothoracic surgical problems. It catalogs well the
expanding knowledge basis for achieving successful surgical
outcomes in the very old. It provides a most useful resources for
cardiovascular thoracic surgeons in training and those already in
practice.
