Preprocedural Ultrasound Guidance for Combined Spinal-Epidural Anesthesia Results in Better Success Rates in Elderly Patients with Hip Fracture: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: Background: Combined spinal-epidural (CSE) anesthesia is considerably challenging for elderly patients with hip fractures. This study aimed to investigate the ability of a modified preprocedural ultrasound-guided technique to improve the success rate and efficacy of CSE anesthesia for elderly patients with hip fractures.
