Geriatric Anesthesiology

Geriatric anesthesiology is a specialized field focused on providing anesthesia care to older adults undergoing surgery or medical procedures. It considers the unique health challenges seniors face, such as existing medical conditions, medication interactions, and age-related changes in their bodies. Geriatric anesthesiologists aim to enhance safety, reduce complications, and improve recovery outcomes for elderly patients. They collaborate with the broader healthcare team to ensure that anesthesia plans are tailored to each patient's needs, ultimately supporting better overall health and quality of life in older individuals.
