Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This trial tests whether numbing only one side of the body with spinal anesthesia keeps blood flow more stable during hip replacement surgery in people aged 65 and older. Half of the 74 participants will receive a one-sided spinal block, and the other half will receive the standard two-sided block. Researchers will continuously measure heart output, blood pressure, and other circulation markers during surgery, and track how much fluid and blood pressure medication each patient needs. The goal is to see if the one-sided approach reduces strain on the heart and lowers the need for extra support during the operation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Unilateral spinal anesthesia compared with bilateral spinal anesthesia
What this could lead to
If unilateral spinal anesthesia proves more stable, it could become the preferred method for hip replacement in older adults, reducing complications from blood pressure drops.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, so results may not apply to all patients. Unilateral anesthesia may not always provide enough coverage, and any spinal block carries risks like low blood pressure or headache.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults aged 65 years and older. 2. Patients scheduled for elective total hip arthroplasty. 3. Patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification of II, III, or IV. 4. Patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 13-15 who are conscious and able to cooperate. 5. Patients with suitable peripheral arterial anatomy for PRAM monitoring. 6. Patients who provide written informed consent to participate in the study. 7. Patients without any clinical contraindication to spinal anesthesia. - Exclusion Criteria: 1. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score \<13. 2. Age below 65 years. 3. History of previous major neurosurgical intervention. 4. Anatomical abnormality, vascular defect, or infection at the site intended for arterial catheter placement for PRAM monitoring. 5. Severe spinal deformity (e.g., severe scoliosis, previous spinal fusion surgery, or spinal trauma). 6. Current anticoagulant therapy or coagulopathy (INR \>1.5 or platelet count \<75,000/mm³). 7. Presence of skin infection or systemic infection/sepsis. 8. Severe hypovolemia or decompensated cardiac disease in which spinal anesthesia is contraindicated. 9. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to local anesthetics or sedative agents. 10. Local infection or wound at the planned spinal puncture site. 11. Clinical contraindication to spinal anesthesia (e.g., increased intracranial pressure, septicemia, or severe hypotension). -
