Can skipping opioids during hip surgery protect your heart?
NCT ID NCT05446623
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two types of general anesthesia for hip replacement surgery: one with opioids and one without. The goal was to see how each affects the heart's pumping ability (cardiac index). 120 adults having planned hip replacement took part. The results help doctors understand if opioid-free anesthesia is safer for the heart.
