ABSTRACT
@#China has entered an aging society in which the problem about the aged becomes a public concern. The incidence and risk of surgery are much higher in the elderly. Before the surgery,anesthesiologists can identify high-risk surgical patients and deal with them to prepare the patients in a relatively good physical condition. During and after the surgery,anesthesiologists choose the specific treatment for the elderly patients to achieve the best prognosis,by using core anesthesia techniques,including anesthetic drugs,pain management,respiratory- circulation management,and organ protection. This review summarized the core techniques of anesthesiology in elderly patients from the assessment and management perspectives.
