Summary

This study compared two types of anesthesia for people having hip fracture surgery: a spinal block that numbs only one side and a nerve block in the lower back. Researchers wanted to see which method keeps blood pressure more stable and provides better pain control during surgery. The study included 50 adults aged 18 to 90. Results could help doctors choose the best anesthesia for each patient.
