Summary
This study looks at whether spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia leads to fewer lung complications after delayed hip fracture surgery in people aged 65 and older. Forty participants will be assigned to one of the two anesthesia types, and their lung function will be measured after surgery. The goal is to help doctors choose the safer option for this vulnerable group.
