Geriatric Trauma Management

Geriatric trauma management focuses on caring for older adults who have experienced injuries, often due to falls or accidents. This approach recognizes that seniors may have unique health challenges, such as weaker bones and multiple medical conditions, which complicate treatment. Care involves thorough assessments to understand their overall health, tailored treatment plans to address injuries while considering existing conditions, and rehabilitation strategies to help them regain strength and mobility. The goal is to ensure a safe recovery and improve the quality of life, minimizing the risk of future injuries and promoting independence as much as possible.
