Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study compares general to regional anesthesia concerning morbidity and mortality in patients older than or equal to 65 years old who receive clopidogrel and are to be submitted in hip fracture surgery. Half of participants will receive general anesthesia the first 48 hours and the other half will receive regional anesthesia after 5 days of the discontinuation of clopidogrel.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

General anesthesia

Hip fracture patients older or equal to 65 years of age, who receive clopidogrel, will be randomly assigned to undertake surgery under general anesthesia in the first 48 hours. Anesthetics to be used are propofol, fentanyl and rocuronium. Maintenance will be achieved with remifentanyl and propofol (TIVA) and the depth of anesthesia will be monitored by BIS. Morphine will be administered bolus IV immediately postoperatively.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Fentanyl

Intervention Type DRUG

Fentanyl will be used for introduction in both regional and general anesthesia. It will also be used for general anesthesia maintenance.

Propofol

Intervention Type DRUG

Propofol will be used for introduction in general anesthesia.

Rocuronium

Intervention Type DRUG

Rocuronium will be used for introduction in general anesthesia.

Morphine

Intervention Type DRUG

Morphine will be administered bolus iv in General anesthesia group postoperatively before patients leave OR.

Regional anesthesia

Hip fracture patients older or equal to 65 years of age, who receive clopidogrel, will will be randomly assigned undertake surgery under regional anesthesia (spinal) at least 5 days after the discontinuation of clopidogrel. Anesthetics to be used are chirochaine 0.5% and fentanyl.
