GA linked with increased risk of CVA in patients of hip fracture : Study
General anesthesia is a risk factor affecting the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents in hip fracture patients, according to a recent study published in the Journal of Healthcare Engineering.
General anesthesia is an important factor leading to postoperative complications, and cerebrovascular accidents take the first place in the causes of postoperative death. Therefore, it is extremely important to explore the correlation between general anesthesia and the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents in hip fracture patients.
A group of researchers conducted a study to explore the association between general anesthesia and the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents in hip fracture patients.
The data of 240 hip fracture patients treated in our hospital from February 2017 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into the general anesthesia group (n = 120) and nongeneral anesthesia group (n = 120) according to whether or not they received general anesthesia, so as to compare their incidence rate of cerebrovascular accidents between the two groups, record their hemodynamic changes, and analyze the association between various risk factors under general anesthesia and the occurrence of cerebrovascular accidents.
