Screening for functional fragilities before open aortic surgery
Pre-operative Screening of Functional Fragilities Before Open Aortic Surgery : a New Area
This study is trying to see if checking for certain weaknesses in patients before open aortic surgery can help them recover better and have better outcomes after the operation.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the functional frailties of patients prior to undergoing open aortic surgery for conditions such as aortic aneurysm and occlusion. It seeks to establish a comprehensive preoperative assessment that goes beyond traditional cardiological and respiratory evaluations by incorporating a specific fragility scale. This approach is intended to identify corrective measures that can be implemented before surgery to improve patient outcomes and simplify postoperative recovery. The study will involve patients from the vascular surgery department at Toulouse university hospital.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients scheduled for open aortic surgery in the vascular surgery department.
Not a fit: Patients who refuse to participate in the study will not receive any benefit from this assessment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved preoperative assessments and better postoperative recovery for patients undergoing open aortic surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of assessing functional frailties preoperatively is gaining attention, this specific comprehensive assessment has not been widely tested in similar studies.
