Caring for critically ill patients in need of life-sustaining support has become a specialty of its own over the last 40 years. Critical care medicine has shown value to patients and care organizations by improving outcomes, controlling cost, and investigating and applying therapy in an evidenced-based manner. Because of changing demographics, critical care of the geriatric patient will become commonplace over the next 30 years. The intensivist must understand physiologic changes associated with aging, manage common comorbid states, and navigate end-of-life care in the geriatric patient. In critical illness, a systems-based approach is used to develop a daily plan, and the same format is used in this article to view the critically ill geriatric patient.
