The Assessments of the Postoperative Recovery on Elderly Patients Received General Anesthesia or Peripheral Nerve Blocks

Postoperative recovery is always worrisome to the elder patients undergoing Total Hip Replacement (THR). Peripheral Nerve Blocks (PNBs), lumbar plexus block combined with sciatic nerve blocks, may be alterative anaesthesia style to the fragile patients. But pervious papers suggested PNBs were commonly administered in conjunction with general anesthesia (GA), or the blocks were performed primarily for postoperative analgesia. Hardly any research has reported in use of Peripheral Nerve Blocks (PNBs) as primary anesthesia style for Total Hip Replacement (THR). The investigators compare peripheral nerve blocks to general anesthesia on elderly eld patients undergoing Total Hip Replacement (THR) by assessing the Postoperative Recovery and Delirium
