In this session, a multidisciplinary panel of experts in geriatric perioperative medicine will discuss recent advances in the field, with a special emphasis on delirium, nutrition, SDOH, and venous thromboembolism (VTE), with ample time allocated for audience participation and questions. Learning Objectives: (1) recognize early signs of delirium and implement evidence-based interventions to shorten its duration and limit its effect on associated adverse outcomes, including falls, functional decline, and increased length of stay; (2) provide individualized nutritional support can help mitigate complications of malnutrition; (3) assess SDOH to optimize surgical outcomes in at-risk older adults; (4) screen high-risk patients and utilize appropriate measures, including prophylactic anticoagulation and pneumatic compression devices to reduce and prevent postoperative VTE.
