Abstract
Background:This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of lower limb nerve block combined with slow induction of light general anesthesia and tracheal intubation in hip surgery in the elderly.Methods:Thirty elderly patients who underwent hip surgery under the lower limb nerve block were randomly divided into 2 groups: slow induction of light general anesthesia and tracheal intubation group (group M), and laryngeal mask light general anesthesia group (group H). After undergoing total intravenous anesthesia without muscle relaxants, all patients received sciatic nerve, lumbar plexus, and paravertebral nerve blocks. The hemodynamic situations, dosage of anesthetics, time for awakening and extubation (or laryngeal mask removal), and incidence of respiratory adverse reactions in the induction period were recorded.Results:Compared with baseline levels, the difference in mean arterial pressure (MAP) value at each time point after intubation/laryngeal mask removal in both groups was not statistically significant (P > .05). Furthermore, the time for awakening and extubation/laryngeal mask removal, and anesthetic dosage were significantly decreased in group M, when compared with group H (P < .05). For the incidence of adverse reactions, the incidence of poor sealing and hypoxia was significantly lower in group M than in group H (P < .05), and the incidence of sore throat was significantly lower in group H than in group M (P < .05).Conclusion:Lower limb nerve block combined with slow induction of light general anesthesia and tracheal intubation was associated with smaller anesthetic dosage, and shorter duration of anesthesia induction and extubation/laryngeal mask after surgery.
