Comparing two types of anesthesia for hip fracture surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving general anesthesia during hip fracture surgery: one through an IV line and one through breathing in a gas. It aims to see which method helps patients recover better after surgery.

This trial tests three different ways to manage pain during and after hip fracture surgery. It aims to find which method works best for patients having surgery under spinal anesthesia.
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.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia to see which helps patients recover better after gynecologic surgery. You will be randomly assigned to receive either a combination of IV and inhaled anesthesia or inhaled anesthesia alone, and you'll fill out a short questionnaire about your recovery.
This study compares two anesthesia methods during hip fracture surgery in older adults to see if one reduces the risk of confusion (delirium) after the operation. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two anesthesia groups, both of which are commonly used in practice.
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 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.
