The Safety of Anesthesia Management for Traumatic Hip Surgery in Elderly

The Safety of Anesthesia Management for Traumatic Hip Surgery in Elderly: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Hospital

Trauma for hip joint is common in old people. Anesthesia in these types of old patients carries more risk than the adult population.

In this study the investigators will review patient's records that underwent surgery for hip trauma under anesthesia, and to see if type of anesthesia affects patient's outcome and the rate of postoperative complications.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Hip Fractures
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: Hip fracture surgery and anesthesia

Detailed Description

Trauma for hip joint is common in old people; usually trauma for the hip joint is treated surgically under anesthesia. Anesthesia in these types of old patients carries more risk than the adult population, since these type of patients have a lot of chronic diseases which affect their general health.

In this study the investigators will review patient's records that underwent surgery for hip trauma under anesthesia between the years 2010 to 2015, and to see if type of anesthesia affects patient's outcome and the rate of postoperative complications like Deep Venous Thrombosis, Pulmonary complications, myocardial Infarction and others.
