Optimizing Perioperative Care for Elderly Surgical Patients: A Review of Strategies and Evidence-Based Practices
Thailand has transitioned into an aging society characterized by a notable demographic shift toward senior citizens. This demographic trend underscores the imperative of addressing age-related challenges. The aging process accounts for the progressive deterioration of physical and cognitive functions, often necessitating medical interventions such as medications or surgical procedures. As the elderly population continues to grow, prioritizing strategies to enhance quality of life and mitigate the onset of physical and cognitive impairments becomes increasingly crucial. Prudent patient care is paramount due to the heightened vulnerability of elderly patients and the elevated risk of adverse health outcomes. This review aimed to examine perioperative evaluation and optimization strategies tailored specifically for elderly individuals scheduled for surgery. Special emphasis was placed on preserving postoperative functional capacity and cognitive acuity among this group of patients.
