Chapters are focused on common, devastating and often missed complications of surgical care in the seniors. These include delirium, depression, pressure sores, functional losses, incontinence, volume depletion and asymptomatic or atypical complications -myocardial infarction, post-operative diarrhea, urinary track infections and pneumonia. Each is expertly reviewed.

From the reviews:
“This book focuses particularly on the perioperative and surgical aspects of cardiothoracic disease in elderly patients. ... it is an ideal literature for cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiologists and respiratory physicians who face an increasing number of elderly patients in their daily practice. It also gives an overview of the opportunities modern cardiothoracic medicine offers today and in this regard provides helpful information for everyone who is directly involved in the medical care of elderly patients.” (Olaf Wendler, Cardiology News, October/November, 2012)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
