Anesthesia and Optimization of the Geriatric Patient
摘要
Hubert’s specialty in anesthesia was focused on the geriatric population. An 82-year-old woman (Millie) is found down at the bottom of a stairwell of 9 steps next to an exit of the hospital. She is unresponsive and has a bleeding laceration on the top of her skull. The cause of her fall needed an investigation. Hubert calculated her “Frailty Score” based on her daughter’s history. Her frailty score and her calorie count were both poor. Hubert Charles had a plan to reverse the decline in the elderly after a traumatic physical event.
