Congratulations to @neumanmd and the team for conception, completion and publication of the #REGAIN RCT of general (inhalational) vs spinal (with or without sedation) for people with #HipFracture. A huge achievement👏nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… Some thoughts... 1/ 🧵
...Anaesthetists seem to have been debating whether mode of anaesthesia for #HipFracture makes a difference for this group of often older, frailer people for decades now. Lots of strong opinions and a mixed bag of observational studies. So good grounds for the #REGAIN study 2/

Why new guidance for #HipFracture now? Basically - things move on, new data emerge, guidance should never stand still.
