Frailty Score and Blood Pressure Changes During Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are having elective (planned, non-emergency) surgery that is not on your heart
- You will receive general anesthesia (you'll be fully asleep)
- You have routine blood work (LDH, creatinine, platelet count) done within 24 hours before surgery
- You are considered frail or have age-related health concerns (your doctor can confirm this)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how certain blood markers (albumin/creatine ratio, vitamin B12, and folate) relate to frailty in older adults having surgery for stomach or intestinal cancer. The goal is to understand if these markers can help predict which patients may be more frail.
This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
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 whether a patient's level of frailty (overall weakness and health before surgery) affects their risk of acute kidney injury after non-cardiac surgery, and whether blood pressure changes during surgery play a role in that link.
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 uses ultrasound measurements of the carotid artery and vena cava to predict if older patients might experience low blood pressure after going under general anesthesia for elective surgery. If successful, it could help doctors take preventive steps.
