Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Geriatric intensive care unit is a special type of intensive care unit dedicated to management of critically ill elderly.Geriatric intensive care unit's goal is to restore physiologic stability, prevent complications, maintain comfort and safety, and preserve pre-illness functional ability and quality of life (QOL) in older adults admitted to critical-care units.Geriatric intensive care units appeared in response to the world's population aging. Managing Geriatrics diseases is not like managing adults or pediatrics diseases, especially if they are critically ill. Geriatric medicine was not included in the curricula of undergraduate or advanced medical training until recently, so not all critical care physicians were oriented by the pecularties of geriatric patients. Despite the fact that geriatric patients constitute many of the critically ill patients, the training of critical care team still lacks the training on the geriatrics giants.
