Summary
The ageing population in Western countries combined with advances in anaesthetic management and surgical techniques results in a growing number of frail patients presenting for surgery in the last 30 years. Increased age comes with reduced physiological reserves of major organs, and only worsens in the presence of concurrent disease. This fact undoubtedly contributes to an increase in perioperative complications.
