Fast or slow? study tests best way to give spinal anesthesia for hip fractures
NCT ID NCT05564741
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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 hip fractures. Eighty-four patients were randomly assigned to one of the two speeds. The researchers measured blood pressure and other heart parameters before and after the injection. The goal was to find out if injection speed affects the risk of low blood pressure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
norepinephrine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the best injection speed to reduce blood pressure drops during spinal anesthesia in elderly patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed Phase 4 study with only 84 patients, so results may not apply to all patients or settings. It measures short-term effects, not long-term outcomes.
