No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study evaluates the potential beneficial effects on hemodynamics when hypobaric bupivacaine is used instead of isobaric bupivacaine in continuous spinal anesthesia for surgical repair of hip fracture in elderly patients. Half of the patients will receive hypobaric bupivacaine and the over half will reveive isobaric bupivacaine and hemodynamic data will be compared.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

continuous spinal anesthesia

Spinal puncture performed with a 19-gauge Tuohy needle at the L4-L5 or L3-L4 interspace using a midline approach. 3 cm of a 22-gauge catheter introduced through the needle, directed to the fractured side.

DRUG

hypobaric bupivacaine

hypobaric bupivacaine was prepared diluting each 1 ml of 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine with 1 ml of sterile water.

DRUG

isobaric bupivacaine

0.5% isobaric bupivacaine

DRUG

ephedrine
