Care of the older perioperative patient
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2009
Abstract
Britains older population is on the increase. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the perioperative care of older patients does not take into consideration the physiological changes that come with ageing and their implications for care. Active consideration of physiological changes can contribute to the reduction in morbid events and achieves a better outcome for the older surgical patient.
