Provider Perceptions Regarding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Surgical Patients with Frailty.
To characterize the perceptions of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and geriatricians regarding perioperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in surgical patients with frailty. ⋯ Anesthesiologists, surgeons, and geriatricians offer different accounts of frailty's relevance to judgments regarding CPR in surgical patients. Divergent views regarding frailty and perioperative CPR may impede efforts to deliver goal-concordant care and suggest a need for research to inform risk stratification, predict patient-centered outcomes, and understand the role of potential biases, such as ageism and ableism.
