Enhancing Recovery in Hip Fracture Surgeries

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at how two different types of anesthesia, spinal and general, affect participants with broken hips who are getting a special kind of pain block before surgery. Researchers will check: - How quickly patients are ready for anesthesia - How long they stay in the recovery room after surgery - How much pain medicine they need during recovery - If they experience any confusion - If one group has complications in one of these anesthesia techniques? Participants in the study will be put into one of two groups by chance to see if there's a difference in their recovery.

Clinical Trial Description

This clinical trial aims to compare two common anesthesia techniques, spinal and general anesthesia, combined with a preoperative nerve block called the Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB). The objective is to understand how these methods affect patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Does the choice between spinal and general anesthesia influence how quickly patients recover from anesthesia? - Does it affect how long patients stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)? - Does it change the amount of opioid pain medication needed after surgery? - Do the different anesthesia types impact the occurrence of postoperative delirium? - Do they affect the length of the hospital stay after surgery? - Do they lead to different rates of post-operative complications? Participants will: - Receive either spinal anesthesia with Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) (Arm A) or general anesthesia with Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) (Arm B). - Undergo an ultrasound-guided FICB injection. - Receive appropriate anesthesia and sedation during surgery. - Be monitored for pain and provided with pain relief as needed. The study's broader objectives include enhancing patient safety and satisfaction, reducing hospital readmission rates, lowering healthcare costs, and improving overall healthcare practices. Although direct benefits to participants are not guaranteed, the findings will inform better care for future patients with hip fractures. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
