Summary

Gerioperative care is a new paradigm Focused on improving the outcomes of older adults by carefully considering the implications and consequences of age related surgical recovery. This is the only volume to specifically address the surgical care of older adults providing practitioners with critical, practical, and theoretical information from the initial decision to have surgery through the first follow up visit after discharge. The text uses a systems approach to describe age related changes and the impact on perioperative considerations. It addresses the anatmoy and physiology of aging, and discusses specific areas of gerioperative vulnerbility and how they create grater risk for postop complications. Enhanced with case studies, the book addresses all aspects of preoperative care, intraoperative and postanesthesia care, postoperative care, returning home, risk appraisal and education, prevention, early intervention multidisciplinary team collaboration and effective communication across all systems of care.
