In Europe there are increasing numbers of old (more than 65 years old) and very old (more than 80 years old) patients (very old intensive care patients - VIPs) (Figure 1). In addition to combinations of chronic conditions (multi-morbidity), there are geriatric disabilities and functional limitations, with a profound impact on management in the ICU and afterwards [1].
在欧洲,老年(65 岁以上)和非常老年(80 岁以上)患者(非常老年重症监护患者-VIPs)的数量不断增加(图 1)。除了慢性疾病的组合(多种疾病)外,还有老年残疾和功能限制,这对 ICU 内的治疗和之后的治疗都有深远影响[1]。
