Preoperative Frailty Feasibility Study

This study is designed to determine if measurements of strength, body composition, muscle size, independence, and nutrition can be completed at a patient's pre-anesthesia testing appointment. These measurements will be used to determine a patient's baseline frailty and to ideally give predictions for the risk of postoperative complications. The measurements are all non-invasive and involve the use of a spirometer, hand grip strength tool, bioimipedance tool, ultrasound, and written questionnaire. The study will help guide future pre-anesthesia testing appointment components related to frailty.

While past research shows that music therapy can help reduce anxiety and the need for pain medications, it is not commonly used in hospitals. To explore this, researchers will interview surgeons, nurses, hospital staff, and patients to learn more about the barriers and how music therapy might be better included in surgical care.
