Abstract
Trauma is a leading cause of death for the geriatric population. Because of
the acuity of the patient presenting in such circumstances, it is imperative to have a
grasp of physiological changes that occur with time. As an anesthesia provider,
understanding physiological changes can adjust the anesthetic plan, dosages, and uses
of certain medications. It is also important to convey the risks and benefits of
proceeding with major invasive surgery and recovery. Many patients now have living
wills or advanced directives that may assist in decision-making.
