Critical Care Issues of the Geriatric Patient

Anesthesiology Clinics
Maurice F Joyce, John Adam Reich

Abstract

Medical care of the geriatric patient is an important area of focus as the population ages and life expectancy increases. In particular, critical care of the geriatric patient will be especially affected, because geriatric patients will consume most critical care beds in the future and subsequently require increased use of resources. This review focuses on the physiologic effects of aging on all body systems. Focus on frailty and its effect on recovery from critical illness and its potential to modify the course of patient care will be important areas of research in the future.

Age-related Dementia

Dementias are a group of conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, characterized by deficiencies in cognitive abilities. Age-related dementia refers to dementias that occur in older individuals, usually 60+ years old, in contrast to early-onset dementia. Follow the latest research on age-related dementia here.

Cell Aging (Keystone)

This feed focuses on cellular aging with emphasis on the mitochondria, autophagy, and metabolic processes associated with aging and longevity. Here is the latest research on cell aging.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
