Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main objective is to assess the effect of bupivacaine or levobupivacaine on peroperatory regional cerebral oximetry during anaesthesia in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement surgery;Secondary Objective: Compare between patients treated with bupivacaine or levobupivacaine the following parameters: 1. Change in cognitive function after surgery 2. Hemodynamic changes induced by anaesthetic blockade and administration of vasoconstrictor drugs during anaesthesia 3. Characteristics of sensorial and motor blockade induced by intradural anaesthesia 4. Degree of intrasurgical bleeding 5. Changes in renal function 6. Clinical complications during hospitalization 7. Mortality after 30 days;Primary end point(s): Proportion of intraoperative time with a decrease or cerebral regional saturation (SrO2), of at least 20% with respect to baseline values;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): ? Change in cognitive function after 5 or 7 days with respect to preoperative function, measured by means of the Pfeiffer cognitive test;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Measured at day 5 or 7 post-surgery
