Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To find if there is an association between sarcopenia detected by preoperative point of care ultrasound of rectus femoris muscle & postoperative morbidity in elderly patients undergoing major surgery.Timepoint: The relatives will be explained preoperatively about the morbidity parameters & the telephonic Montreal cognitive assessment scoring & then will be followed telephonically at the end of 1 month post surgery for the following parameters Length of hospital stay more than 7 days Readmission within 30 days Ischemic cardiac event ICU admission for ventilatory support Presence of new-onset cognitive dysfunction as assessed by telephonic Montreal cognitive assessment scoring

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To find the proportion of sarcopenia detected by preoperative point of care ultrasound of rectus femoris muscle in elderly patients undergoing major surgery by measuring: 1. Rectus femoris cross-sectional area (RF-CSA) 2. Rectus femoris muscle thickness (RF-MT)Timepoint: The analysis of above two parameters by Ultrasound will be done in the pre operative room before the OT
