Body temperature and anesthesia use in older hip surgery patients
This trial looks at how older patients' body temperature changes during hip replacement surgery and whether that affects the amount of anesthesia medicine needed. The goal is to improve care for elderly patients undergoing this common procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years of age or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned hip replacement surgery under general anesthesia.
- Your overall health is fairly good (well-controlled health conditions or no major issues).
- You do not have significant memory or thinking problems (like a score of 2 or less on a memory test).
- You do not have a neurological or psychiatric condition that affects your thinking or memory.

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 looks at how common low body temperature is during surgery and tests a tool to predict it. It may help your surgical team keep you warmer and safer.
This trial tests if carefully controlling body temperature after surgery can prevent confusion or slow thinking in older adults recovering from major cancer operations.
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.
This trial tests whether carefully managing a patient's body temperature during cancer surgery can reduce the risk of postoperative delirium and improve long-term survival. It is for older adults undergoing major cancer surgery.
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.
