In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic unpacks the FRAIL-HIP study published in JAMA Surgery, which challenges the routine use of surgery for proximal femoral fractures in frail, institutionalized older adults. You'll hear how nonoperative management, guided by a structured shared decision-making process, can lead to comparable quality of life, fewer adverse events, and even a more dignified dying experience. Tune in to discover how this paradigm shift could reshape your approach to surgical decisions in end-of-life care.
