The Moment You Hesitate About Surgery, Your Life Is in Danger An 80-year-old man was rushed to the emergency room after falling at home. Tests revealed a fracture of the femoral neck of his right hip. Lying in bed, he was in agony and unable to move a muscle. He needed to undergo artificial joint replacement surgery immediately. However, the fracture was not the only problem. Pre-operative tests revealed heart and kidney diseases, as well as risks of blood clots and pulmonary embolism. To prevent the dangerous situation of cardiac arrest during surgery, a blood clot prevention filter procedure is required. Overwhelmed by extreme physical pain and a sense of helplessness, the man stands at the crossroads of life and death. Will he be able to successfully undergo surgery and walk again? Let's examine the "golden time" for hip fracture surgery and methods to perform surgery safely on elderly patients.

She suffered a fracture of the right intertrochanteric femur. At her advanced age of over 90, she is confined to bed, unable to move due to the fracture. In this situation, if she eats the wrong food, she may choke, leading to aspiration pneumonia and potentially losing her life.

Aspiration pneumonia is the complication that requires the most caution after surgery. What tests can be used to prevent it?
