Summary

This study compared two types of anesthesia for people having hip fracture surgery: a lumbar plexus block (a nerve block in the lower back) and a spinal anesthesia that numbs only one side. The goal was to see which method keeps blood pressure more stable and provides better pain control during surgery. Researchers studied 50 adults aged 18 to 90 and monitored their vital signs and comfort levels throughout the operation.
