Hip fracture surgery: regional vs. general anesthesia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You are admitted to the hospital for a hip fracture
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix the hip fracture
- You can give your own consent, or a responsible person can give consent for you
- Your hip fracture happened before you came to the hospital (not while you were already there)

This trial compares three different pain relief approaches during and after hip fracture surgery done with spinal anesthesia. It aims to find which method best controls pain with the fewest side effects.
This study looks at how a person's nutrition before hip surgery relates to their pain levels after surgery. It aims to help doctors improve recovery for older adults.
This trial compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to help manage pain after hip fracture surgery. Both methods numb the area around your hip to reduce pain and may help you recover better.
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 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.
