Trial summary

With blocks of lumbar and lumbar plexus, we can reduce the intravenous anesthetics usage. To offer an satisfied surgery process for patients, a proper sedation is necessary. So in this study, we want to investigate the influence of two different sedative drugs on outcomes of patients received hip replacement surgery . Read more about this study

About this study

With blocks of lumbar and lumbar plexus, we can reduce the intravenous anesthetics usage. To offer an satisfied surgery process for patients, a proper sedation is necessary. So in this study, we want to investigate the influence of two different sedative drugs on outcomes of patients received hip replacement surgery .

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • propofolDrug

    For patients in Group P, the sedation was achieved with a target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol, and the effect site concentration was set to 0.8-1.0μg/ml.

  • dexmedetomidineDrug

    For patients in Group D, the sedation was achieved with a bolus of dexmedetomidine at 1.0 μg/kg (over a period of 15 to 20 min) and followed by an infusion of dexmedetomidine at 0.2-0.7 μg/kg/h. The depth of sedation was considered enough when patient was unresponsive to voice.
