Which spinal anesthesia is safer for hip surgery? new study has answers
NCT ID NCT06417203
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 60 adults aged 18-65 having partial hip replacement to compare two spinal anesthesia methods: hypobaric (light) and hyperbaric (heavy). The goal was to see which one keeps blood pressure more stable and reduces pain after surgery. Researchers measured pain using a standard scale and recovery quality 24 hours later. The findings could help choose the safer option for older patients with other health problems.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * ASA I-II * 18-65 aged Exclusion Criteria: * ASA III-IV * Deny to participiate * conditions that spinal anesthesia contraindicated * use of alpha or beta-blockers * allergy to local anesthetics * diabetes mellitus * peripheral vascular disease (The following exclusion criteria were added to ensure patient safety and to avoid confounding factors that could interfere with perfusion index measurements or hemodynamic responses: use of alpha or beta-blockers, diabetes mellitus, and peripheral vascular disease. These conditions may significantly alter autonomic regulation, vascular tone, or peripheral circulation, potentially affecting perfusion index values or increasing the risk of adverse reactions to spinal anesthesia)
