Implication
Clinicians should maintain vigilance for BCIS during cemented hemiarthroplasty; Level 4 data leaves open questions on true incidence and mitigation.
Structured PICO
What is the risk of death or severe harm due to bone cement implantation syndrome among patients undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty for fractured neck of femur?
P
Population
Patients undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty for fractured neck of femur reported to the National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) in England and Wales
I
Intervention
Bone cement implantation during hip hemiarthroplasty
O
Outcome
Number of reported deaths, cardiac arrests and periarrests per yearsafety
Cement use in hip hemiarthroplasty for fractured neck of femur is associated with rare but severe instances of perioperative death or severe harm consistent with bone cement implantation syndrome.
