Summary

In geriatric anesthesia, hand grip strength is used as an important biomarker to evaluate the general health status of elderly patients. Hand grip strength is considered an indicator of various factors, such as muscle function, physical endurance, nutritional status, and frailty, and can be helpful in geriatric anesthesia practice to predict patients' response to anesthesia and determine their risk.

Hand grip strength is used as an important parameter in the pre-anesthesia evaluation of elderly patients. Low grip strength has been associated with postoperative complications (e.g., infection, pulmonary complications, prolonged hospitalization) and worse outcomes.Weak hand grip strength is related to the patient's degree of frailty. Frail patients may be less resistant to stress and respond more negatively to anesthesia.

One of the most important of these responses is intraoperative hypotension, and it is especially common in elderly patients. Since hypotension has possible adverse effects in the postoperative period, it is necessary to evaluate elderly patients in more detail during the preoperative evaluation in order to predict this and take the necessary precautions. Hand grip strength has been found to be associated with cardiovascular system health. With this study, the investigators wanted to evaluate whether measuring hand grip strength during preoperative evaluation would help evaluate the risk of intraoperative hypotension.

Conditions

  • Hypotension During Surgery
  • Geriatric Patient
  • Hand Grip Strength

Interventions

OTHER

Hand grip strength measurament

That intervention includes making the patient sit down and rest for 5 minutes on a comfortable chair. Then make them handle a hand dynamometer with their dominant hand and ask them to squeeze it with all of their effort. Repeat that squeeze three times with 2-minute intervals. The highest number recorded on the dynamometer is the hand grip strength of the patient.
