La prise en charge du syndrome confusionnel comme exemple de coopération médicochirurgicale chez la personne âgée présentant un cancer Delirium as an example of collaboration between surgeons and geriatricians for elderly patients with cancer

Le résumé fourni par la source

The aging of our population and the frequent occurrence of cancer warrants the adaptation of our management strategies in medical and surgical geriatric oncology. Geriatric assessment, including knowledge of the autonomy of patients and their comorbidities is needed to consider the best treatment, including when it comes to surgery. Delirium is the most common complication observed in the postoperative period. Knowledge of risk factors for the occurrence of this syndrome should be a part of good practice. Proximity between surgeons, anesthesists and geriatricians should improve the quality of care given to elderly patients with cancer. To cite this journal: Cah. Annee Gerontol. 3 (2011).
