Anesthesia choices in fragile patients
This study compares different anesthesia methods to find the safest option for elderly patients with frailty. It aims to reduce risks during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 65 years old or older
- You are considered frail (have signs of weakness, fatigue, or weight loss)
- Your overall health is classified as ASA I, II, or III (mild to serious but stable illness)
- You are able to understand and agree to the study
- You are not having emergency surgery

This study tests whether a special nursing care plan can help prevent confusion after surgery in older adults who are frail. If you are 65 or older, having planned surgery, and generally healthy enough, this trial may be an option.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (spinal or general) in frail patients age 60+ having laparoscopic or robotic abdominal or pelvic surgery. The goal is to see if one approach helps with awareness and recovery.
This study looks at how frailty affects the chance of low blood pressure after anesthesia is given for surgery. It may help doctors plan safer care for older or weaker patients.
This study tests how well simple frailty screening tools predict recovery and complications after major surgery in people aged 70 and older. The goal is to help doctors and patients better understand surgical risks.
This study looks at whether frailty (a measure of weakness and fatigue) in older adults affects the risk of low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for surgery. It aims to help doctors predict and prevent this complication.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
