Early percutaneous pinning of hip fracture using propofol-ketamine-lidocaine admixture in a geriatric patient receiving dabigatran: a case report.
نویسنده
چکیده
Hip fractures occur commonly in elderly patients. Many of these patients have multiple comorbidities requiring the use of anticoagulants. Some of the newer anticoagulants have no reliable method for reversal. This case report discusses the advantages and pitfalls of the selection of local anesthetic and monitored anesthesia care using a propofol-ketamine-lidocaine admixture for an elderly patient with a femoral neck fracture who was receiving dabigatran etexilate (Pradaxa). This case illustrates the potential for sedation during monitored anesthesia care to progress to general anesthesia and its associated risks as well as special considerations for anesthesia in geriatric patients.

متن کاملComparison of three methods of Valsalva maneuver, lidocaine, and Valsalva maneuvers along with administration of lidocaine to reduce the pain associated with administration of Propofol
Background: Propofol is commonly used in anesthesia practice because of its rapid recovery time, but pain upon injection is one of the unfavorable complications of this drug, which can cause both physical and mental discomfort for patients. Therefore, it is important to lower the pain on injection of Propofol in patients undergoing anesthesia. As a result, the current study was conducted in ord...
