Geriatric Emergency Medicine, 1st
ed. 2018 Edition
This book
discusses all important aspects of
emergency medicine in older people,
identifying the particular care
needs of this population, which all
too often remain unmet. The
up-to-date and in-depth coverage
will assist emergency physicians in
identifying patients at risk for
adverse outcomes, in conducting
appropriate assessment, and in
providing timely and adequate care.
Particular attention is paid to the
common pitfalls in emergency
management and means of avoiding
them.
Between 1980 and 2013, the
number of elderly patients in
emergency departments worldwide
doubled. Compared with younger
patients, older people suffer from
more comorbidities, a higher
mortality rate, require more complex
assessment and diagnostic testing,
and tend to stay longer in the
emergency department. This book,
written by internationally
recognized experts in emergency
medicine and geriatrics, not only
presents the state of the art in the
care of this population but also
underlines the increasing need for
adequate training and development in
the field.
