Anästhesie bei geriatrischen Patienten

Obwohl das Alter an sich keine Krankheit ist, steigt das Narkoserisiko bei geriatrischen Patienten. Doch welche Maßnahmen können vor, während und nach einer Allgemeinanästhesie ergriffen werden, um dieses Risiko zu senken? Was muss bei den verschiedenen Wirkstoffen beachtet werden und gibt es ein ideales Anästhesieprotokoll für ältere Tiere? Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen finden Sie im vorliegenden Beitrag.
