Abstract
Geriatric patients have unique postoperative concerns that must be
considered to safely guide their care. In this chapter, we discuss the commonly
encountered complications in the post-anesthesia care unit with a focus on
postoperative delirium, postoperative nausea, and vomiting, as well as issues relating to
renal, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems with advancing age. Finally, we discuss
opioid and nonopioid analgesic considerations unique to this vulnerable patient
population.
