About this study

Official title: Is the Combined Plexus Block a Real Alternative for Hip Fracture Surgery in the Elderly? A Comparison With General Anesthesia and Continuous Spinal Anesthesia Using a Propensity Score in a Retrospective Cohort Study.

Hip fracture surgery requires high risk anesthetic procedure for elderly patients (1). General anesthesia, continuous spinal anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks are three anesthetic techniques possible. Continuous spinal anesthesia has proven its efficacity to provide an intraoperative haemodynamic stability wich guarantees good patients outcomes (2), in comparison with general anesthesia but there is poor evidence in the literature concerning the use of peripheral nerve blocks.

The primary objective of this study was to compare intraoperative haemodynamic stability provides by peripheral nerve block versus general anesthesia and continuous spinal anesthesia.

Secondary outcomes included : use of vasoactive drugs, opioids consumption, lengh of stay and inhospital mortality.

Read the detailed description

After receiving the ethic approval from the "CERAR", the investigators retrospectively identified all patients who underwent hip fracture surgery from January 1 2015, to December 31, 2016 in the CHU of Montpellier. The exclusion criteria were: multiple trauma victims, two hip fractures in the same patient and single shot spinal anesthesia. In our institution the investigators used to perform three types of anesthesia: general anesthesia (GA), continuous spinal anesthesia (CSA) and combined plexus blocks (CPB). The investigators therefore made three groups GA, CSA and CPB and used a propensity score to make these groups comparable. The matching criteria were age, arterial hypertension, ASA status, Frailty score, chronic cardiac failure and type of surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intraoperative hypotension

    Decrease of at least 30% of mean arterial pressure

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. measure the total consumption of the vasopressive molecules

    measure the total consumption of the vasopressive molecules (necessary when the voltage drops by more than 30% compared to the average reference voltage) : Use of vasoactive drugs

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Length of stay

    Length of stay

    Measured: 1 day

  3. compare the use of emergency antalgics

    compare the use of emergency antalgics : opioids consumption

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Inhospital mortality

    Inhospital mortality

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Fractures, run by University Hospital, Montpellier.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intraoperative hypotension (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03356704, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jul 2018.
