Summary

This study looked at whether giving spinal anesthesia quickly (15 seconds) or slowly (90 seconds) changes blood pressure and heart function in elderly patients with a broken hip. Eighty-four patients over age 65 took part. Researchers measured blood pressure and other heart measures before and after the injection. The goal was to find out if injection speed affects the risk of low blood pressure.
