Comparing anesthesia types for hip surgery in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares general anesthesia (you are completely asleep) versus spinal anesthesia (you are awake but numb from the waist down) during hip surgery to see which one is better at preventing heart muscle damage. It is for people 65 and older who are at moderate to high risk for heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of anaesthesia for people with a weakened heart (ejection fraction between 35-40%) who need planned lower-limb surgery. It looks at how each method affects blood pressure and heart function during and after the procedure.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (low-flow vs. normal-flow) during hip fracture surgery in older adults. The goal is to see which method may reduce the risk of confusion or delirium after surgery.
This study looks at whether using regional anesthesia or general anesthesia affects outcomes after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It may help doctors choose the safest anesthesia option for recovery and prognosis.
