LEON VAZQUEZ, Alfonso R. et al. Transoperative cardiovascular morbidity in hip fracture in the geriatric patient. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1999, vol.13, n.1-2, pp. 54-57. ISSN 1561-3100.

A retrospective study of the patients operated on of hip fracture in our hospital during 1995 was made. The anesthetic method and the cardiovascular alterations observed were analyzed. It was found out that of the 788 patients operated on, 228 had hip fracture (36.5%) and of them 88.2% were over 65. Regional anesthesia was used in 86% of the patients, whereas 14% was administered general anesthesia. Transoperative alterations were detected. The most frequent alterations observed during general anesthesia were hypotension and tachycardia and with regional anesthesia they were hypotension and bradycardia. It was concluded that hemodynamic alterations were more common with regional anesthesia.
