Abstract

ABSTRACT Anesthesia administration in elderly surgical patients presents unique challenges due to age-related physiological changes and comorbidities. Knowing anesthesia-related complications is crucial for optimizing perioperative care in this vulnerable population. A retrospective review of electronic medical records was conducted to identify anesthesia-related complications in elderly subjects aged 65 and above undergoing surgery between January 2018 and December 2020. Data collection included demographic characteristics, comorbidities, anesthesia techniques, and postoperative outcomes. There were a total of 100 elderly patients. Cardiovascular events (35%) were the most common complication, followed by respiratory issues (20%) and adverse drug reactions (15%). Statistical analysis revealed significant associations between cardiovascular events, respiratory issues, adverse drug reactions, and anesthesia. Anesthesia-related complications pose significant risks in elderly surgical patients. Tailored anesthesia management strategies, including comprehensive preoperative assessment and vigilant intraoperative monitoring, are essential for mitigating perioperative risks and improving outcomes in this vulnerable population.

手术老年患者麻醉相关并发症的回顾性研究

摘要由于与年龄相关的生理变化和合并症，老年手术患者的麻醉管理面临着独特的挑战。了解麻醉相关并发症对于优化这一弱势群体的围术期护理至关重要。我们对电子病历进行了回顾性审查，以确定在 2018 年 1 月至 2020 年 12 月期间接受手术的 65 岁及以上老年患者的麻醉相关并发症。数据收集包括人口统计学特征、合并症、麻醉技术和术后结果。共有 100 名老年患者。心血管事件（35%）是最常见的并发症，其次是呼吸系统问题（20%）和药物不良反应（15%）。统计分析表明，心血管事件、呼吸系统问题、药物不良反应与麻醉之间存在明显关联。麻醉相关并发症给老年手术患者带来了巨大风险。量身定制的麻醉管理策略，包括全面的术前评估和警惕的术中监测，对于降低围术期风险和改善这一弱势群体的预后至关重要。
