With an ageing population, the need to provide safe anaesthesia and intensive care for increasingly complex surgeries in elderly patients has become a priority. Older patients often have significant comorbidities and, therefore, experience much higher morbidity and mortality rates compared to younger adults. This discussion will explore the physiological and anatomical changes associated with ageing and how these may affect anaesthesia techniques and choices. Additionally, we will address perioperative risks in the elderly, emphasizing emergency surgery and optimizing outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, an invaluable source of up-to-date information, with the curriculum of both the Primary and Final FRCA examinations covered over a three-year cycle. Published monthly this ever-updating text book will be an invaluable source for both trainee and experienced anaesthetists. The enthusiastic editorial board, under the guidance of two eminent and experienced series editors, ensures Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine covers all the key topics in a comprehensive and authoritative manner. Articles now include learning objectives and eash issue features MCQs, facilitating self-directed learning and enabling readers at all levels to test their knowledge. Each issue is divided between basic scientific and clinical sections. The basic science articles include anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, physics and clinical measurement, while the clinical sections cover anaesthetic agents and techniques, assessment and perioperative management. Further sections cover audit, trials, statistics, ethical and legal medicine, and the management of acute and chronic pain.
