Aged Mortality Under Anesthesia Higher for Elderly
A Johns Hopkins study reported to the Anesthesia Research Society finds the death rate under anesthesia for people over 65 is about four times the rate for all ages. Improper administration and emergency procedures drive most deaths, with the gastrointestinal tract involved in many mishaps. Cardiovascular failure and respiratory issues are prominent, underscoring limited aging resilience. Also a brief note mentions country style music at Secum Brook Club in Lanesboro on weekends.
