Why the study?
Does spinal anaesthesia compared to general anaesthesia alter blood pressure and cortisol changes induced by cementation in patients with femoral neck fracture?
Population
30 patients with femoral neck fracture treated with the Thompson prosthesis
Comparison
Spinal anaesthesia (n=15) vs General anaesthesia (n=15)
Design
Cohort

Anaesthetic choice may modify cementation responses in hip fracture surgery; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does spinal anaesthesia compared to general anaesthesia alter blood pressure and cortisol changes induced by cementation in patients with femoral neck fracture?
The choice of anaesthetic technique (spinal vs. general) modifies the hemodynamic and stress responses to methylmethacrylate cementation in hip fracture surgery.
Svartling et al. (1986) studied this question.
