Fifty-five patients presenting with fractured neck of femur were randomly allocated to either a standard general anaesthetic or spinal block in the lateral position combined with light sedation. The comparability of the two groups was established. There was little difference in the intra-operative course of postoperative morbidity in the two groups. There was a statistically significant difference in post-operative mortality between two groups, the general anaesthetic group showing a much higher mortality than the spinal group.
55例股骨颈骨折患者被随机分配接受标准全身麻醉或侧卧位脊髓阻滞联合轻度镇静。确定了两组的可比性。两组术中过程和术后发病率几乎没有差异。两组术后死亡率存在统计学显著差异，全身麻醉组的死亡率远高于脊髓阻滞组。
