CLINICAL CRITICAL CARE TRACK C4 EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT CARING FOR CRITICALLY ILL GERIATRIC PATIENTS Assemblies on Critical Care; Clinical Problems; Nursing 9:15 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. Target Audience Multidisciplinary groups of clinicians who work in or outside of the ICU caring for critically ill older adults or older adult survivors of critical illness. This includes nurses, physical and occupational therapists, pharmacists, and physicians. Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • appreciate several key principles of geriatric medicine that may be applied to the clinical care of the critically ill older adult; • integrate and apply geriatrics principles into treatment strategies for the critically ill older adult; • understand successful interprofessional models that optimize long-term functional recovery for seriously ill older adults after the ICU. Older adults comprise over half the patient population in the intensive care unit. Despite this, barriers to caring for critically ill older adults have received insufficient attention. This session will draw on multidisciplinary, multi-institutional perspectives from geriatrics, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, and pulmonary-critical care medicine to provide evidence-based and practical recommendations to optimize the clinical care of the older adult during and after the ICU.
