Abstract
Editor - Elderly, high-risk patients with severe cardiac and respiratory comorbidity are often admitted for emergency hip surgery. Blockade of the lumbosacral plexus (LSP) represents an alternative to general or spinal anesthesia with better hemodynamic stability and effective perioperative pain management without opioids.Traditionally, LSP blockade is performed as dual lumbar plexus (LP) and sacral plexus (SP) injections. We present a single injection blockade of the LSP producing anaesthesia for hip fracture surgery.
