Nighttime oxygen dips after hip fracture may trigger confusion in seniors
NCT ID NCT04007432
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether low oxygen levels during sleep after hip fracture surgery are linked to delirium (sudden confusion) in patients over 70. Researchers will monitor 70 participants in the hospital to see if nighttime hypoxia increases the risk of complications like infection or heart problems. The goal is to better understand these risks to improve care for older adults after hip surgery.
