Local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care decreases morbidity, mortality, hospital stay, and surgical time in high-risk patients with proximal femur fractures.
Does local anesthesia combined with monitored anesthesia care reduce morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and surgical time in high-risk patients with proximal femur fractures?
Local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care is a feasible and safe alternative for high-risk patients undergoing cephalomedullary nailing for proximal femur fractures.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care may be a feasible and safe alternative for high-risk patients with proximal femur fractures when general or spinal anesthesia is contraindicated. This approach decreases morbidity and mortality rates while effectively reducing length of hospital stay and surgical time.
