Application of combined anesthesia with spontaneous breathing in the surgery of intertrochanteric fracture of femur in elderly patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aims to investigate the feasibility and safety of combined anesthesia with spontaneous breathing in the operation of intertrochanteric fracture of femur in the elderly.

Patients and methods

Between January 2020 and January 2023, a total of 141 elderly patients (45 males, 96 females; mean age: 72.5±6.8 years; range, 65 to 87 years) who underwent proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) surgery for intertrochanteric fracture of femur were included in this single-blind, prospective, randomized-controlled study. The patients were randomly divided into three groups. Group A (experimental group) was a general anesthesia with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) group preserving spontaneous breathing, Group B (control group 1) was a general anesthesia with LMA group
