Slow spinal shot may help elderly patients avoid dangerous blood pressure drops
NCT ID NCT05564741
Summary
This study looked at whether giving spinal anesthesia slowly (over 90 seconds) causes less of a drop in blood pressure compared to giving it quickly (over 15 seconds) in elderly patients having hip fracture surgery. Researchers monitored 84 patients' heart and blood pressure functions closely to see which method was safer. The goal was to find the best way to give this common anesthesia to reduce risks for older, often frail, patients.
