Compare two doses of local anaesthetic drug given in spinal anesthesia for hip fracture repair in elderly females

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: ASA 1-4 female patients for hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia

• Registration Number: CTRI/2018/03/012534
• Lead Sponsor: Govt T D Medical College

Brief Summary

Elderly patients  particularly females are very prone for hip fractures.Surgical repair of hip fracture is commonly done under spinal anesthesia .Bradycardia and hypotension are the main side effects of spinal anesthesia and these effects may be exaggerated in the elderly because of their multiple comorbid conditions.The incidence of side effects can be reduced by decreasing the dose of local anaesthetic but that may not provide an acceptable duration of analgesia. Hence opioids like fentanyl can be added added since it has a synergestic effect with local anaesthetics in increasing the duration of analgesia with excellent hemodynamic stability..This study compares 2 different doses of bupivacaine with fentanyl for hip  arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia
