The three prevailing causes of traumatic death in the elderly are falls (which account for 40% of traumatic death in this age group), traffic collisions and burns.The geriatric trauma patient presents unique challenges to the EMS provider. There are many ways to classify older adults, but for the purpose of this article, the term geriatric will be defined as individuals who are ≥ 65 years old.
