Clinical Research Progress on the Effect of Different Anesthesia Methods on the Prognosis of Elderly Hip Fractures

Hip fracture will have a great impact on the life of the patient. The treatment and recovery of hip fracture is an extremely long process. In the early treatment stage, the patient will feel a strong sense of pain. Hip fractures are the most common in the elderly, and the elderly are often accompanied by osteoporosis, and there is a risk of fracture when exposed to mild external forces in daily life [1]. Surgical treatment is most common in elderly patients with hip fractures. In order to reduce the pain of the patient, anesthesia is usually given to the patient. Anesthesia is divided into general anesthesia and local anesthesia, both of which can reduce the pain of the patient and improve the cooperation degree of the operation. Under general anesthesia, the patient is basically in a state of unconsciousness without any consciousness. General anesthesia is generally achieved by intravenous injection of anesthetic drugs or inhalation of gas, and local anesthesia is achieved by intrathecal or epidural injection of anesthetic drugs [2]. Studies have shown that these two anesthesia methods have been widely used in orthopedic surgery, and have achieved good results. However, the choice of anesthesia methods for elderly patients with hip fractures is still controversial. This article reviews the research progress on the effects of different anesthesia methods on the prognosis of elderly hip fractures by reviewing relevant literature
