Abstract

Objective: To study the incidence of hypotension after spinal anesthesia with reduced doses of anesthetic combined with fentanyl compared to standard doses of anesthetic in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture fixation surgery at Uthai Thani Hospital.

Material and methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial involving 50 participants divided into two groups. The control group received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 10 mg, while the study group received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 5 mg plus fentanyl 25 micrograms. The study aimed to compare the incidence of hypotension, ephedrine usage, fluid volumes, muscle weakness, pain scores, and postoperative morphine consumption within 24 hours.

Results: The incidence of hypotension during surgery significantly differed between the two groups (20% vs. 76%, respectively). The amount of ephedrine used was significantly different (1.3±3.8 vs. 12.1±11.1 in milligrams) and fluid administration (430 ±127.4 vs. 688 ±265.4 in milliliter). However, there were no significant differences in sensory and motor blockade, pain scores, or intravenous morphine use within 24 hours post-surgery.

Conclusion: Spinal anesthesia with reduced doses of anesthetic combined with fentanyl effectively prevents hypotension and reduces the need for vasopressors and fluid administration. However, there were no significant differences in sensory and motor blockade, pain scores, or intravenous morphine use within 24 hours post-surgery.
