Anesthesia and perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders in the Elderly patients undergoing hip fracture Surgery platform trial (ANDES platform trial): A pragmatic multi-arm, adaptive, open label, multicenter randomized controlled platform trial to assess the effect of different enhance anesthesia technique in perioperative neurocognitive function, as compared to standard anesthesia care in the elderly patients undergoing hip fracture
Hip fractures are a major cause litigation in patients undergoing trauma surgery. Common causes of litigation in hip operations are alleged incompetent surgery and development of pressure sources, both of which are associated with poor quality of consent. One aspect of poor consent is patients not being able to retain information discussed with them prior to their operation. There are many factors attributed to this, including pain in the acute setting, administration of sedating medications and the high rate of delirium in this patient cohort. However, even in individuals deemed to have capacity during the consent process, studies have shown that many were unable to explain what type of surgery they had or express knowledge of the potential complications. Importantly, the hip fracture patient demographic is very different from patients undergoing a planned procedure, in that they have had an acute injury following physical trauma, tend to be older and medically frailer. Research into the recall of patients undergoing gynaecological or abdominal surgeries further corroborate patients' poor recall of potential complications in the acute setting. Patients with hip fractures face a range of risks, some of which can result in a substantial mortality rate regardless of whether surgery is performed. The list of complications includes infections in the hip joint and wound, development of pressure sores, occurrence of pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), myocardial infarction, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, and potential procedural failures. As such, the ability of patients to remember the discussed complications is critical to their well-being and overall quality of life and remains an unmet clinical need.
The objective of this study is to assess the implementation process for and the effectiveness of a quality improvement (QI) strategy to increase shared decision-making around anesthesia options for hip fracture surgery at 6 US hospitals. The QI strategy is to be facilitated by a clinician-administered 1-page bedside conversation aid designed to improve the quality of physician-patient communication, paired with brief clinician training. The evaluation will occur via a stepped wedge, cluster randomized trial to be carried out over a period of 27 months.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile application in improving postoperative rehabilitation outcomes among patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.
With increasing life expectancy, the elderly population is growing. Hip fractures significantly increase morbidity and mortality, particularly within the first year, among elderly patients. Managing anesthesia in these elderly patients, who often have multiple comorbidities, is challenging. Identifying perioperative factors that can reduce mortality will benefit the perioperative management of these patients. The investigators aimed to predict the impact of anesthesia management on mortality in hip fracture patients using predictions supported by artificial intelligence.
Aim of the study is to describe and study the patterns of floating hip injuries and assess the current management in Assiut University Hospitals Trauma Centre to help reach the best approach to plan treatment for these severe and difficult injuries.
This study is a prospective, randomized clinical trial assessing the efficacy of physician-performed ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block vs fascia iliaca compartment (FIC) block for pain control in acute hip fracture.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two commonly used local/regional anesthesia techniques in adults patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • the impact of both interventions on patient level of pain. • impact on postoperative analgesics administered Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two local/regional anesthesia techniques, either femoral nerve block (FNB) or suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SiFi). Both techniques are the usual practice at the hospital, and we are NOT aiming to experiment on new anesthesia technique in this study.
