Ultrasound heart checks before hip fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether doing a focused heart ultrasound before hip fracture surgery helps doctors better manage your care during surgery. It is mainly for older adults having urgent hip fracture surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 65 or older
- Have an urgent hip fracture that is planned for surgery
- Be in a health-risk group (ASA class 2 to 4) as judged by your doctors
- Have no signs the fracture is caused by cancer spreading or another disease in the bone
- Not have severe dementia or major memory problems that make study steps unsafe

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at an “accelerated” hospital plan to get surgery and treatment started sooner for some people with a hip fracture who also show signs of heart stress in blood tests. It may help reduce delays and improve safety during urgent hip fracture care.
This trial is testing different types of anesthesia to see how they affect brain function (memory, thinking) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to find the safest approach for elderly patients.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications after surgery.
This trial tests a structured rehabilitation program for older adults who have had surgery for a broken hip. The goal is to help you recover better and return to your daily activities.
This trial tests a new way to help you and your doctor talk about anesthesia options before your hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see if this approach improves your experience and recovery.
This study looks at whether a heart ultrasound done before surgery can help improve recovery and outcomes for people having non-heart surgeries. It is for older patients or those with heart risks.
