Anesthesia type and safety in hip fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is comparing different types of anesthesia (general vs. spinal/epidural) during hip fracture surgery to see which one is safer and reduces the risk of a rare but serious reaction called bone cement implantation syndrome. It may help you if you are scheduled for a cemented partial hip replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a broken hip that your surgeon plans to fix with a partial hip replacement using bone cement.
- You do not have severe heart valve problems (like severe aortic stenosis) that would make general anesthesia unsafe.
- You are not taking blood thinners that would prevent a spinal or epidural block.
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems that would prevent you from understanding the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications 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.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (regional, which numbs just the hip area, vs. general, which puts you fully asleep) to see which one helps with breathing after surgery. It is for patients over 65 having hip fracture surgery.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery: a single injection versus a continuous drip through a tiny tube. The goal is to see which method is safer and causes fewer side effects, such as drops in blood pressure, while keeping you comfortable during and after the operation.
This study compares two anesthesia methods during hip fracture surgery in older adults to see if one reduces the risk of confusion (delirium) after the operation. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two anesthesia groups, both of which are commonly used in practice.
This study looks at different ways to give anesthesia during hip surgery to help older patients think and remember better afterward. It may help prevent confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
