General versus Spinal Anesthesia: Which Is a Risk Factor for Octogenarian Hip Fracture Repair Patients?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hip fractures in elderly patients can lead to lifethreatening complications and increased mortality1,2. The geriatric population in Taiwan, comprising almost 10% of the whole population in 2008, is progressively increasing3. Although recovery is slow, surgery is generally very effective for the repair of hip fractures. General and spinal anesthesia are the predominant forms of anesthesia employed for this type of surgery. Extensive procedures typically use general anesthesia; these gaseous or intravenous medications achieve central neurologic depression, and can suppress all protective reflexes, such as coughing and even breathing. In contrast, spinal anesthesia is induced by injecting a GENERAL VERSUS SPINAL ANESTHESIA: WHICH IS A RISK FACTOR FOR OCTOGENARIAN HIP FRACTURE REPAIR PATIENTS?
