The Safety of Anesthesia Management for Traumatic Hip Surgery in Elderly

The Safety of Anesthesia Management for Traumatic Hip Surgery in Elderly: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Hospital

Trauma for hip joint is common in old people. Anesthesia in these types of old patients carries more risk than the adult population.

In this study the investigators will review patient's records that underwent surgery for hip trauma under anesthesia, and to see if type of anesthesia affects patient's outcome and the rate of postoperative complications.
