Frail seniors face higher risk of blood pressure drop during surgery
NCT ID NCT07351552
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how frailty—a state of weakness common in older adults—affects the risk of dangerously low blood pressure after anesthesia. Researchers will assess frailty in 80 elderly patients before surgery and track their blood pressure during anesthesia. The goal is to better understand which patients need extra care to prevent complications.
