NCT ID NCT07520695
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether waiting two minutes before lying flat after receiving spinal anesthesia could prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure in elderly patients having hip fracture surgery. Ninety patients aged 65 and older were split into two groups: one waited two minutes before lying flat, the other lay flat immediately. Researchers measured blood pressure changes and how much extra medication or fluids were needed.
