This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (numbing medication in the back) for older adults having leg or hip surgery. It aims to see if adjusting the dose based on height works better than the standard fixed dose. If you are between 60 and 80 and having planned lower limb surgery, you may be eligible.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain during and after lower back surgery: one uses an ultrasound-guided nerve block, the other uses a medication called dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see which provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
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.
