title: [Anesthesiologic problems in the elderly].
abstract: Nowadays approximately 20% of all patients operated are older than 60 years of age. So it seems to be interesting to investigate the effect on the increase of systemic disease of these patients, to estimate a proper anaesthesiological management. Anaesthesiological problems occur pre- and postoperatively because of restrictions of the cardiovascular and respiratory system, compromised renal function and defeds of the CNS. Therefore preoperatively registration and therapy of these risks are necessary, however diagnostic evaluation cannot be standardized. There is no typical anaesthesia for the elderly.
