Femur Fracture, Spinal Anesthesia, Lumbar Plexus Block
Conditions
Brief summary
Nerve blocks applied with neuraxial anesthesia and ultrasonography are used for many operations today. Neuraxial blocks cause varying degrees of decrease in the blood pressure level of the patients. Peripheral blocks may be preferred to avoid the cardiac effects of the neuraxial anesthesia method.
Detailed description
The hypothesis of this study was that spinal anesthesia applied in intertrochanteric femoral fracture operations caused hypotension by lowering the cardiac ejection fraction. In our study, The investigators aimed to find out the effect of different regional anesthesia methods on the cardiac function of the patients by echocardiography.
Interventions
Transthoracic echocardiogram will be performed before the operation and at certain time intervals during the operation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ejection fraction | peroperative | Ejection fraction (EF) measurement will be made with Simpson's method and fractional shortening method. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| intraoperative blood pressure monitoring | peroperative | systolic, diastolic and median blood pressure values |
| cardiac diastolic dysfunction | peroperative | The echocardiogram will measure the flow velocity between the left atrium and ventricle in cm/s in pulsed wave mode and the E/A ratio will be calculated. |
| Entropy | peroperative | Depth of anesthesia will be measured by placing Entropy sensors on the forehead as needed. |
| sedative drug | intraoperative | The drugs used for sedation and their amounts will be recorded. |
| ramsey sedation scale | intraoperative | 1. point Awake, restless and/or crying. 2. points Alert, calm, watching his surroundings. 3. points Sleepy but responds to verbal stimuli 4. points Sleepy but immediately responds to glabellar tactile stimuli. 5. points Sleepy but responds slowly to glabellar tactile stimuli. 6. points Does not respond to Alerts. |
