Effect of Regional Anaesthesia and General Anaesthesia on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating method of anesthesia for Post Operative Delirium. Completed, enrolled 950 participants across 13 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is evaluate postoperative delirium after general anesthesia and regional anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. Our research hypotheses are: (1) regional anesthesia may contribute to decrease the incidence of postoperative delirium. (2) Regional anesthesia may improve the outcome of elderly patient and reduce healthcare costs associated with postoperative delirium. (3) Postoperative delirium may result in poor long-term functional outcomes.
