ABSTRACT
The changing demographics of America's population over the past couple of decades have propelled geriatric medicine into the fore-front. Due to this, emergency medicine physicians will face numerous challenges managing an increasing number of critically ill elderly patients. This article will focus on success of resuscitation in this population, important pathophysiologic changes that occur with aging, as well as ethical considerations in end-of-life care.
