Impact of anesthesia on hospital mortality and morbidities in geriatric patients following emergency hip fracture surgery
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma Mar 06, 2018
Qiu C, et al. - This retrospective cohort study was conducted to assess the effect of anesthesia type on in-hospital mortality and morbidity for geriatric fragility hip fracture surgery. Advantages could be gained by the regional anesthesia (RA) over general anesthesia (GA) for fragility hip fracture surgeries when possible. Findings displayed that GA adversely influenced the in-hospital mortality, time to death, increased length of stay (LOS), and discharge to an institute rather than home. Adverse outcomes were brought to light by the previously understudied intraoperative conversions from regional to general (Cv) group for in-hospital mortality and time to death.
