Continuous spinal anaesthesia versus ultrasound-guided combined psoas compartment-sciatic nerve block for hip replacement surgery in elderly high-risk patients: a prospective randomised study
BMC Anesthesiol. 2014 Nov 5;14:9970 elderly patients with ASA physical status III or IV and scheduled for elective hip replacement were included in this trial. The purpose of this study was to compare continuous spinal anesthesia with combined psoas compartment-sciatic nerve block with respect to hemodynamic effects in elderly high-risk patients. The results from this trial indicated comparable results, with continuous spinal anesthesia taking significantly shorter time to perform than combined psoas compartment-sciatic nerve block.
