Can spinal anesthesia make hip surgery safer for seniors?
NCT ID NCT06952257
Summary
This small pilot study aims to understand if the type of anesthesia used affects a dangerous complication called Bone Cement Implantation Syndrome (BCIS) during hip fracture surgery. Researchers at Johns Hopkins will compare general anesthesia (where you are asleep) to spinal/epidural anesthesia (where you are numb but awake) in about 24 older adults. The goal is to see if one method leads to fewer cases of BCIS, which can cause severe drops in blood pressure and oxygen levels.
