Observational analysis compares fast track surgery outcomes in elderly patients, indicating improved adherence to care standards.
Background: The Fast Track Surgery (FTS) refers to all phases of perioperative care: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative strategies. Although most research has focused on adherence to medication, adherence also encompasses numerous health related behaviors. The main objective of this study was to compare the FTS in elderly individuals over 60 years of age with femur and hip fractures with the hospital’s routine conduct. The second objective was to compare the groups of each decade after 60 years of age. And the third objective was to assess with orthopedists and anesthesiologists whether they changed their conduct after participating in the FTS.
