Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the regional anesthetic methods (not including general anesthesia) -spinal anesthesia, erector spinae plane (ESP) block- which are in routine practice in critically ill adult patients operated for femur fracture, in terms of intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamics and clinical course, postoperative intensive care unit stay and hospitalization durations, pain scores, postoperative morbidity, and mortality.

Conditions

  • Femoral Fractures

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Spinal anesthesia

Spinal anesthesia was performed at the L3-L4 or L4-L5 intervertebral space using intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine. After confirmation of adequate sensory block, propofol sedation was titrated to maintain a BIS value between 80 and 90.

PROCEDURE

Erector spinae plane block

Ultrasound-guided lumbar erector spinae plane block was performed at the L4 level using a total volume of 30 mL local anesthetic solution consisting of bupivacaine, lidocaine, and normal saline. After confirmation of adequate sensory block, propofol sedation was titrated to maintain a BIS value between 80 and 90.
