GA/Spinal vs. GA/Spinal/NMB for Operative Repair of Hip Fracture

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 4 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Hip Fractures, Anesthesia, Spinal, Anesthesia, General, Neuromuscular Blockade

In brief

Surgical repair of hip fractures may be performed with various anesthetic techniques, but are most commonly completed under general anesthesia (GA) or neuraxial anesthesia (NA). Numerous prospective and retrospective studies demonstrate improved morbidity and mortality when NA is used; however, many surgeons prefer the use of GA with neuromuscular blockade (NMB) due to the perception of better operative conditions. This study aims to compare the operative conditions obtained from the use of combined GA and spinal with NMB vs. the use of GA with spinal without NMB. 84 patients will all receive a single shot spinal and GA and then will be randomized to receive either NMB or placebo. The fracture reduction time will be measured.
