In all countries, statistics show that the number of aged persons is increasing faster than the rest of the population Consequently, it is evident that more and more elderly persons will be brought to surgery and anaesthesia.

The authors have discussed the multiple deficiencies occurring in old age. Suggestions have been made for treatment which will increase the reserves and resistance to surgery of the aged.

It is mandatory in the aged to avoid hypoxia and hypotension. The authors have made suggestions for the prevention of these complications, both during and after operation. By proper treatment it is possible to decrease morbidity and mortality in the elderly patient coming to surgery.
