Abstract

Demographic aging is leading to an increase in the number of elderly patients admitted to intensive care units, where they are at risk of geriatric syndromes. This prospective, single-center pilot study shows that targeted training significantly improves the knowledge of staff, primarily nurses and paramedical personnel. These results support the value of continuing education in geriatrics, a finding that should be confirmed by multicenter studies.
