With
increasing life expectancy, the number of individuals with chronic diseases and
hospitalizations are increasing. In the geriatric age group, the need for
intensive care is higher than the normal population due to acute exacerbations
of chronic health problems, multiple drug use and problems involving multiple
organ systems. We struggle to reduce mortality and morbidity with increased
fragility, delirium, sarcopenia, tissue injury secondary to pressure, changes
in drug metabolism and post-intensive care syndrome, which we encounter more
frequently in the geriatric age group with intensive care follow-up.
