Anesthesia And Post-operative Mortality After Proximal Femur Fractures

NCT02406300

RandomizedParallel-groupDouble-blindTreatment

Summary

This study evaluates the effect of anesthesia on mortality after surgical repair of proximal femur fracture. Patients will receive either a subarachnoid block or a combination of peripheral nerve blocks and light general anesthesia (PNB/GA). The investigators hypothesis is that a combination of peripheral nerve blocks with an opioid free light anesthesia may have more favourable outcomes. Both groups will be followed up for assessment of post-operative morbidity and mortality.
