Anesthesia type and confusion after hip fracture surgery in seniors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix a hip fracture.
- You do not have dementia, serious memory problems, or a condition like Parkinson's disease or stroke.
- You have not had a problem with opioid painkillers, alcohol, or other drugs.
- You do not have bleeding disorders or take blood-thinning medications (except for routine care).
- You do not have severe hearing or vision loss, or other conditions that would make it hard to follow the study.

This trial is testing different types of anesthesia to see how they affect brain function (memory, thinking) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to find the safest approach for elderly patients.
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 older adults who get a hip replacement may experience confusion after surgery. It aims to find factors that might help prevent or reduce this confusion.
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 study looks at whether a simple blood test score can predict confusion after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to help doctors identify who might need extra care after surgery.
