Patients scheduled for hip arthroplasty were anaesthetised using either general or spinal anaesthesia. Each patient's memory was tested for both recall and recognition by using lists of 10 words each of a different category. This testing for memory extended from the pre-operative visit to one week after operation. Memory was not tested on the day of operation. There was little overall change of memory after either spinal or general anaesthesia although there was an inexplicable but significant decrease in the ability to recognize words after spinal anaesthesia.
计划进行髋关节置换术的患者采用全身麻醉或脊髓麻醉。通过使用10个不同类别的单词列表，对每位患者的回忆和识别能力进行记忆测试。这种记忆测试从术前访视持续到术后一周。手术当天不进行记忆测试。脊髓麻醉或全身麻醉后，记忆总体变化不大，尽管脊髓麻醉后单词识别能力出现了无法解释但显著的下降。
