In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound assessment of heart and lungs for Hip Fractures. Completed, enrolled 225 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators would like to investigate whether performing ultrasound assessments in patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures is able to identify previously undiagnosed heart or lung conditions. The investigators would like to determine whether information provided by this ultrasound assessment is significant enough to alter the anesthetic management plan of these patients. This study has the potential to demonstrate that ultrasound could be used as a diagnostic bedside tool in the perioperative period, possibly altering standard of care for this patient population.
