Frailty's effect on blood pressure drop after anesthesia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have good memory and thinking skills
- You are scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia (you'll be asleep)

This study watches how nervous patients feel before hip replacement surgery and how that connects to their overall strength and ability to bounce back. Researchers want to understand whether anxiety levels and frailty affect each other in older adults.
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 a simple scoring system (EASIX) that predicts whether older or frail patients will experience dangerous blood pressure drops when anesthesia is given before surgery. Understanding this risk might help doctors better protect vulnerable patients during their operations.
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.
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.
This study looks at whether people who have low blood pressure after eating are also more likely to have low blood pressure after starting general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict and manage blood pressure drops during non-heart surgeries in older adults.
