Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common disease of older adults. It presents a unique set of anesthetic challenges. With increasing life expectancy and the rapid growth of oldest-old patients, it is now more likely for anesthesiologists to encounter older patients with PD. Due to polypharmacy in the older adults with PD a potential for drug interactions during and after surgery needs to be considered. More data from prospective, multicenter trials about short- and long-term outcomes of anesthesia in PD patients are needed.
帕金森病(PD)是老年人的常见疾病。它带来了一系列独特的麻醉挑战。随着预期寿命的增加和高龄患者的迅速增长,麻醉医生现在更有可能遇到患有帕金森病的老年患者。由于帕金森病老年患者存在多种药物合用的情况,需要考虑手术期间及术后药物相互作用的可能性。需要更多来自前瞻性多中心试验的关于帕金森病患者麻醉短期和长期结果的数据。
