CSE may attenuate perioperative catabolism in hip surgery; leaves open whether this improves outcomes in larger trials.
Does combined spinal and epidural blockade reduce amino acid oxidation and prevent hyperglycemia in patients undergoing hip replacement surgery?
Combined spinal and epidural blockade prevents intraoperative hyperglycemia and inhibits postoperative protein catabolism in patients undergoing hip replacement surgery.
Lattermann et al. (2005) studied this question.
