Evaluation of Geriatric Patients who were Operated By General Surgery and Admitted to Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to retrospectively examine geriatric patients over 65 years of age who were operated by general surgery and admitted to the postoperative intensive care unit.
Material and Method: A total of 54 geriatric patients who were urgently or electively operated by the general surgery clinic of our hospital and admitted to the postoperative intensive care unit between 2017 and 2018 were included in the study. The demographic data of the patients, the indication for ICU admission, whether there was an emergency or elective surgery, the reason for the surgery, the American Society of Anesthesiologists score, the need for inotropic agents and prognosis were evaluated.
Results: Of the patients (n: 54), 33 were men, 21 were women, and the mean age was 75.5 ± 6.2 years. The most common reason for admission to intensive care unit was postoperative respiratory failure (42.6%) and the second most common reason was perioperative hemodynamic instability (29.6%). The number of cases was higher in the 65-74 age group. It was found that surgery was performed mostly due to ileus (20.4%). It was determined that the relationship between the intubation status of the patients in the intensive care unit and the American Society of Anesthesiologists score was significant (p=0.017). The mean length of intensive care hospitalization was 3.6 ± 3.9 days. 10 patients (18.5%) died.
Conclusion: It was observed that the increase in the frequency of postoperative respiratory distress in geriatric patients was more prominent, and the need for hemodynamic monitoring in the intensive care unit increased due to cardiac and surgical complications they had. It should be kept in mind that surgical intervention in elderly patients may cause the need for postoperative intensive care depending on the patient’s clinical characteristics and the surgery performed.
