flag Anesthesiologist-led care cuts hip fracture surgery wait time by 5 hours and lowers complications by up to 75%.

flag Anesthesiologist-led care for hip fracture patients reduces time to surgery by about five hours and cuts heart and lung complications by 59% and blood clots by 75%, according to a study presented at ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025. flag The approach, which streamlines preoperative assessments and avoids unnecessary tests, helps patients undergo surgery faster—within 25.7 hours of admission—compared to 30.8 hours under traditional care. flag The findings suggest earlier anesthesiologist involvement improves outcomes for older, frail patients, potentially reducing long-term disability and healthcare costs.
