Geriatric trauma is a specialized area of research focusing on the unique challenges and considerations involved in treating older adults who have experienced traumatic injuries. As the population continues to age, the incidence of traumatic injuries in older adults is increasing, leading to specific issues such as decreased physiological reserves, comorbidities, polypharmacy, and cognitive impairments that can complicate the treatment and outcomes of traumatic injuries. Researchers in the field of geriatric trauma aim to improve the care and outcomes of older adults with traumatic injuries through the development of evidence-based guidelines and protocols tailored to the unique needs of this population. Studying geriatric trauma can help healthcare providers better understand how to optimize care for older adults who have experienced traumatic injuries and ultimately improve their quality of life and survival rates.
