Abstract
Hip fractures occur frequently in elderly patients, and there is a broad clinical consensus favoring early surgical intervention. However, hip fracture surgery is often prolonged, and elderly patients commonly present with multiple comorbidities, reduced tolerance to anesthetic agents, diminished metabolic capacity, and delayed postoperative recovery. Inappropriate intraoperative anesthesia methods can therefore increase the risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction and instability of vital signs, leading to greater financial burden and impaired postoperative quality of life. Consequently, the selection of an appropriate anesthesia method is of significant importance for improving surgical safety and clinical outcomes. Based on these considerations, this article reviews the selection of anesthesia methods for elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
