New anesthesia method could prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure for elderly hip surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07288996
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new method of spinal anesthesia for elderly patients (65+) having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see if using a mix of two types of anesthetic given in small doses can reduce dangerous drops in blood pressure compared to standard methods. The study involves 108 participants and measures how often low blood pressure or slow heart rate occurs during surgery.
