Patients aged 80 years and older represent a growing proportion of admissions to intensive care units (ICU) and are burdened by high mortality rates. Due to the complexity of their medical and social needs, a holistic approach is essential. Collaboration between intensivists and geriatricians could improve the overall management of older patients. This cooperation will enable more accurate assessments and personalized treatment decisions throughout the triage, hospitalization, and discharge phases, thus optimizing the outcomes for this vulnerable population.
