Preoperative Focused Cardiac Ultrasound in Hip Fracture Surgery (PrEcho)
Sponsor: Umeå University
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of preoperative focused transthoracic ultrasound (FOCUS) on intraoperative hypotension and postoperative complications in hip fracture surgery. Our hypothesis is that a preoperative FOCUS along with a hemodynamic optimization protocol will reduce the occurrence of intraoperative drops in blood pressure and post-operative complications.
