    Journal: Clin Geriatr Med; 1994 Feb; 10(1):19-30. PubMed ID: 8168023.
    Abstract:
    Approximately one-half of all patients admitted to the intensive care unit are over the age of 65, even though elderly people comprise about 12% of the population. This article defines the special needs of the geriatric patient within the critical care setting. Developing an approach to the care of critically ill geriatric patients based on knowledge of their medical and psychosocial needs is discussed.
