Brief Summary

In elderly patients over 65 years of age, proximal femur fracture is the most common type of fracture, and surgical intervention is typically required for the majority of cases. Subarachnoid anesthesia is commonly used for this type of surgery. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of continuous non-invasive blood pressure and hemodynamic monitoring compared to traditional methods of blood pressure measurement in reducing the duration of hospitalization and the incidence of post-operative complications in elderly patients undergoing surgery for femur fracture under subarachnoid anesthesia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Duration of hospitalization

    To compare the length of hospital stay among elderly patients undergoing surgery for femoral fractures under subarachnoid anesthesia, where continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring utilizing the ClearSight system is implemented along with a standardized protocol for hemodynamic optimization, with the duration of hospital stay observed in a retrospective cohort of patients undergoing similar surgery but with intermittent (every 5 minutes) non-invasive blood pressure monitoring not linked to a standardized protocol for hemodynamic optimization

    10-15 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of at least one postoperative complication

    10-15 days

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

Elderly patients over 65 years of age who underwent surgery for femoral fracture under spinal anesthesia. These patients underwent oscillometric intermittent (5 mins) noninvasive blood pressure monitoring during the surgical procedure and received intraoperative hemodynamic management based on a liberal fluid therapy protocol.

Device: Oscillometric intermittent non-invasive blood pressure

ClearSight Group

Elderly patients over 65 years of age who will undergo surgery for femoral fracture under spinal anesthesia. These patients will undergo continuous and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring using the ClearSight system, and fluid management according to a hemodynamic optimization protocol based on goal-directed fluid therapy

Device: ClearSight

Interventions

The hemodynamic management followed liberal fluid therapy, as determined by the attending anesthetist's discretion

Control Group

The hemodynamic management will be conducted in accordance to a goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) utilizing the Clearsight system monitoring.

Eligibility Criteria

Age65 Years - 99 Years
Sexall
Age GroupsOlder Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

The study aims to enroll 146 patients aged over 65 years, with ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) scores I-III, undergoing surgery for femoral fracture under spinal anesthesia. After obtaining informed consent, 73 patients from a prospectively enrolled cohort (ClearSight group) will be compared with 73 patients from a retrospective cohort (Control Group) who underwent the same type of surgery under spinal anesthesia between May 2023 and December 2023 and were included based on the same eligibility criteria.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III, candidate for surgical intervention for femoral fracture under spinal anesthesia.

You may not qualify if:

  • Severe valvular heart disease
  • Heart failure (New York Heart Association - NYHA class ≥ 3)
  • Vascular system pathologies
  • Allergy or hypersensitivity to local anesthetics
  • Absolute contraindications to spinal anesthesia
  • Patient refusal to participate to the study
