Sacral canal block to control blood pressure during hip replacement in older adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares using a sacral canal block plus general anesthesia versus general anesthesia alone for older adults undergoing hip replacement. The sacral canal block is performed about 30 minutes before incision, and investigators record time to reach target controlled hypotension, duration at target pressure, and blood pressure variability. Outcomes include intraoperative blood loss, surgeon satisfaction, and a range of safety measures such as limb tissue oxygen saturation, peripheral perfusion index, unexpected hypotension, heart rate variability, pulse oximetry, and block-related complications. The trial is conducted at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University in Yinchuan, Ningxia.
