The first in-depth guide to anesthesia in the geriatric patient
Geriatric Anesthesia is the one-of-a-kind guide that reviews everything you need to know about anesthetics in the aged, including palliative care, pain, and polypharmacy.
Essential reading for anesthesiologists and geriatricians, this timely reference delivers a detailed overview of both the basic science and practical, day-to-day clinical issues related to the administration of anesthesia in geriatric patients. Geriatric Anesthesia begins with a look at the demographics and economic issues surrounding surgery and anesthesia in the elderly, plus the effects of aging on organ reserve. It then considers geriatric anesthetic implications across the full spectrum of organ systems-from the central/peripheral nervous system to the urinary/hepatic systems.
