[The impairment of stress parameters by hip joint close operations and the influence of anaesthesia. Preliminary results of a prospective study (author's transl)].

A randomized study was done to evaluate operation stress of reconstructive surgical procedures in the pelvic and femoral regions in regional anaesthesia compared to general anaesthesia. Spinal anaesthesia showed more favourable parameters of plasma catecholamines and plasmacortisol. In blood pressure and heart rate there was no significant difference between both anaesthetic groups. According to these (preliminary) results the authors consider spinal anaesthesia a more adequate method of intraoperative anesthesia.
