Case Report: Our Experience with Unilateral Regional Block in a Geriatric Patient Undergoing Emergency Femoral Fracture Operation
Authors: Deniz TURAN, Serdar EPOZDEMIR.
Abstract
Elderly patients who face the necessity of surgery are in the group with a high potential to cause problems in the daily practice of anesthesia. The presence of cardiac, endocrine, renal, cerebral and respiratory diseases in patients in this age group increases the risk of peroperative and postoperative morbidity and mortality. In this case, we aimed to present the anesthesia management of a 110 year-old female patient who underwent emergency surgery for a femur fracture.
