The Influence of Ansthesia Technic on the Rate of Bleeding During Hip Surgery

Considering the high incidence of hip fractures in the elderly, anesthetisis and orthopedic surgeons are frequently encountered with these fractures. Timely fixation of hip fractures decreass morbidity and mortality. Surgical bleeding and the resulting hemodynamic compromise, decrease in vital organ perasion and complications of blood transfusion are important problems in this age group. The ability to decrease Surgical rise; in these patients.

In a semi-experimental and prospective study 40 victims of hip fracture (50-90 y/o) were selected. The goal was to clarify the relation between anesthesia technique and surgical bleeding 22 patients received spinal (group A) and 18 patients received general (group B) anesthesia.

According to recorded data surgical bleeding was greater in group B (general anesthesia) Than group A, and these data was statistically significant.

In this study %60 of group A and %61.2 of group B were males and %40 of group A and %38.8 of group B were females. During the operation, blood loss was measured and recorded for each patient.
