Surgery, anesthesia, and the geriatric patient. 1995

M Kelly

The increasing number of geriatric patients undergoing surgical procedures provides continuing anesthesia and nursing challenges. There are many reasons why elderly patients require close observation after anesthesia and surgery. Careful assessment and aggressive attention to hints of impending renal, cardiac, metabolic, ventilatory, infectious, or thromboembolic complications are crucial for the postoperative care of the elderly patient.
