The aging process is characterized by a significant level of complexity, which makes the perioperative care of the elderly patients extremely challenging. Typically, elderly patients have multiple morbidities and are often taking multiple medications. Polypharmacy is the norm in the elderly. Effects of drug interactions are substantially magnified with advanced age. It is also well recognized that sicker patients require less anesthetic. Frequently, elderly patients also have geriatric syndromes; for example, falls, malnutrition, delirium, and mild cognitive dysfunction. Against this background of reduced reserve (frailty), multimorbidity, and polypharmacy, geriatric patients present for surgical and anesthetic care.
