Anestesia en pacientes con síndrome de fragilidad
Fragility syndrome is defined as a state of decreased physiological reserves and a limited ability to compensate and recover easily.

This concept is used in anesthesia as a predictor of complications, transoperatives or post operatives and can guide better decision-making. Frailty is also associated with decreased quality of life, higher number of hospitalizations, increased hospital stay, increased risk of postoperative complications, and higher mortality.
