Overview

Brief Summary

Hip fractures are common in elderly patients, and require surgery. Many elderly patients take anticoagulants for vasculopathy treatment. Anticoagulation precludes the use of neuraxial anesthesia because of the risk of epidural bleeding. Caudal anesthesia may be a safe and effective technique in anticoagulated emergency surgical patients.

Quantitative analysis of prospective clinical data. Evaluation of caudal anesthesia efficacy for hip fracture surgery. Analysis of perioperative outcome, and postoperative course.

Detailed Description

Hip or femoral neck fractures are common in elderly patients. These fractures require surgical repair. Many elderly patients take regular anticoagulant therapy for vasculopathy. Anticoagulation precludes the use of spinal or epidural anesthesia because of the risk of epidural bleeding. Caudal anesthesia is another form of neuraxial anesthesia that may be safe and effective for hip fracture surgery in anticoagulated elderly patients. Quantitative analysis of prospective clinical data. It is an evaluation of caudal anesthesia efficacy for hip fracture surgery. This is an analysis of intraoperative analgesia, perioperative outcome, postoperative course, and complications.
