  • Title: Perioperative anesthesia issues in the elderly.
    Author: Liu LL, Wiener-Kronish JP.
    Journal: Crit Care Clin; 2003 Oct; 19(4):641-56. PubMed ID: 14601712.
    Abstract:
    Surgical procedures on geriatric patients are not always benign, but postoperative mortality and morbidity is improving. Optimal care depends on our ability to recognize potential risk factors and intervene in a positive manner. Not all the data are complete, and we are missing several key randomized trials, but investigators have identified many areas for possible intervention. Hopefully, in the near future, more concrete recommendations can be given for this very large and important topic of perioperative anesthetic issues in the elderly.
