Spinal anesthesia effect on blood pressure during hip replacement
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia (one side vs both sides) during hip replacement surgery to see how they affect blood pressure. It uses a special monitor to track blood pressure continuously, which may help improve safety for older patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You are scheduled for hip replacement surgery (total hip arthroplasty).
- You are otherwise healthy or have mild to severe health conditions (classified as ASA II, III, or IV).
- You are alert, conscious, and able to cooperate (GCS 13-15).
- You can have an arterial line placed for monitoring and you agree to the procedure.
- You have no conditions that would make spinal anesthesia unsafe (like bleeding problems, infections, or severe spinal issues).

This study looks at whether using ultrasound to check the neck arteries before surgery can help doctors predict and prevent low blood pressure during hip replacement surgery done with spinal anesthesia. If you are 65 or older and having this surgery, this could help make your procedure safer.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine injected near the spine) to see which one provides better pain relief and a shorter recovery for hip replacement surgery. If you qualify, you would receive one of the two medications during your surgery and help doctors learn which is more effective for getting you home the same day.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general and spinal) for people having a total hip or knee replacement. The goal is to see which approach is better for recovery and overall outcomes.
This trial tests a type of nerve block (sacral canal block) to help manage blood pressure during hip replacement surgery. It aims to see if it can safely lower blood pressure on purpose, which may reduce bleeding and improve recovery.
This study compares two ways of managing pain during hip replacement surgery: one that reduces the use of strong painkillers (opioids) using a special monitor, and one that avoids them altogether. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
This study compares how two different doses of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) affect blood pressure during spinal anesthesia. It may help doctors choose the safest dose for patients having surgery.
