Summary

The purpose of this study is compare the rates of post-operative delirium between a group of people receiving intravenous (IV) pain control after hip fracture surgery and a group of people receiving a femoral nerve catheter for pain control. Post-operative delirium is confusion that can happen after the deep sleep of anesthesia. AThe hypothesis is that the group receiving the femoral nerve catheter for pain may have a lower incidence of delirium than the group receiveing IV pain medication.
