Summary

Hip fracture is the second indication of surgical management elderly patients. It remains linked with a one-year mortality of 20%-25% according to diiferent governmental agencies, and the incidence reaches 30% for those over 80 years old.

The factors recognized and found to be most correlated with the survival / mortality ratio of patients are age, sex, intervention time, and prior health status.

The aim of a preoperative clinical evaluation is to estimate the benefit-risk balance of different clinical and technical managements and to prepare the postoperative patient outcome. During the last decade, management of hip fracture has improved mainly due to the different recommendations for a multidisciplinary management of perioperative procedures. However, none of them have yet highlighted FOCUS echocardiography as a "routine" examination of the preoperative evaluation as in most noncardiac surgeries.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the preoperative management of these patients: Clinical and biological evaluation, and to analyze the place that would have the FOCUS preoperative echocardiography in the choice of the anesthesia technique resulting from the patient evaluation.That study in a pre-requisite study to evaluate the incidence of FOCUS echocardiography realized by anesthesiologists in the preoperative period in order to define patient's outcome and anesthetic management.
