Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Very elderly patients undergoing urgent hip fracture surgery are generally at high anaesthetic risk and represent a real challenge for anaesthetists in view of the major intraoperative risk. We report the case of a 108-year-old patient who underwent successful surgery with a combined lumbar and sciatic plexus block. Through This case we highlight the interest of this practice as an alternative anaesthetic technique in such situations.
