Older patients carry some of the highest risks of suffering an
adverse event or death following anesthesia and surgery. They are
inherently vulnerable, presenting with numerous comorbidities and
reduced physiological reserve, requiring 'gero-centric'
perioperative care for everything from routine eye surgery to major
cardiac surgeries. Dementia, frailty, and the need for palliative
care and pain management for the orthopedic patient are important
areas requiring special consideration in this group. This book
provides a general overview of these topics for those healthcare
providers who may not have extensive knowledge of this patient
population, while at the same time offering practical tips for the
more experienced clinician. Chapters cover the spectrum of
perioperative care including preoperative management of comorbid
conditions, intraoperative anesthetic management, postoperative
pain control, and a primer on advanced directive discussions. This
book is appropriate not only for anesthesiologists but for any
perioperative physician caring for the older patient.
