Why the study?
The study was designed to determine the effect of unilateral spinal anesthesia on systemic and central hemodynamics and identify its side effects in elderly and senile patients undergoing total hip replacement.
Is unilateral spinal anesthesia safe and effective for systemic and central hemodynamics in elderly patients undergoing lower extremity joint arthroplasty?
Is unilateral spinal anesthesia safe and effective for systemic and central hemodynamics in elderly patients undergoing lower extremity joint arthroplasty?
Unilateral spinal anesthesia provides safe and effective intraoperative pain management with stable hemodynamics in elderly patients undergoing lower extremity arthroplasty.
May inform anesthesia choice in geriatric arthroplasty; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of hemodynamic effects.
Purpose: to determine the effect of unilateral spinal anesthesia on systemic and central hemodynamics, to identify its side effects in the elderly and senile, with total hip replacement. Materials and methods: 60 patients of geriatric age operated on under unilateral spinal anesthesia were examined. 44 patients underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA), 16 - total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Inclusion criteria: elderly (from 60 to 75 years). For continuous monitoring of the vital functions of the patient, they used the "resuscitation and surgical" monitor UM 300 (LLC UTAS Company Ukraine). Conclusion: Unilateral spinal anesthesia is a safe and highly effective technique that can provide full intraoperative pain management for patients with total hip replacement in a high-risk group of patients.
