Comparing two types of spinal anesthesia for hip replacement surgery

Hypobaric Spinal or Hyperbaric in Partial Hip Arthroplasty Surgeries? Can an Answer be Found by Perfusion Index?

Not applicable Interventional Adiyaman University Research Hospital · NCT06417203

This study is testing which type of spinal anesthesia, hypobaric or hyperbaric, works better for older patients having hip replacement surgery by looking at their blood pressure, heart rate, and pain after the operation.

What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the effects of hypobaric and hyperbaric spinal anesthesia on patient hemodynamics, duration of anesthetic effect, and postoperative pain management in patients undergoing partial hip arthroplasty. Participants will be divided into two groups based on the type of spinal anesthesia administered, and various parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and pain scores will be monitored and compared. The goal is to identify which method better protects hemodynamics and alleviates postoperative pain in older patients with comorbidities.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are elderly patients classified as ASA I-II who are scheduled for partial hip replacement surgery.

Not a fit: Patients classified as ASA III-IV or those with contraindications to spinal anesthesia will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management and safer anesthesia practices for elderly patients undergoing hip replacement surgery.

How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored spinal anesthesia techniques, this specific comparison of hypobaric versus hyperbaric applications in this patient population is relatively novel.
