Summary
The systemic effects of spinal anesthesia is not fully known. Our aim of this study is to
assess whether there is a difference in hemodynamic effects if the spinal dose is given fast
(15s) or slow (90s) in elderly patients with acute hip fracture (AHF). Ninety (n=90) patients
with AHF planned for surgery within 72h at our hospital will be enrolled in the study and
randomly devided into two groups. The patients will receive one predetermined dose of spinal
anesthesia followed by an advanced minimally-invasive hemodynamic monitoring through an
arterial line using FloTrac-system. The hemodynamic parameters will be conducted 10 minutes
prior to the spinal anaesthesia and 30 minutes after the spinal block is given. Hypotension
was defined as a fall in MAP > 30 % or a MAP <65mmHg.
