A Comparative Study of Hemodynamic Stability in Patients Having Impaired Ejection Fraction Undergoing Lower Limb Surgery in Regional Nerve Block Versus Epidural Block
Abstract: Background: Heart failure (HF), a syndrome resulting from structural and functional myocardial abnormalities, is characterized by compromised ventricular filling or ejection, leading to symptoms such as dyspnea and peripheral edema. Patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) undergoing surgery are at increased risk for perioperative complications. Hemodynamic management in such patients, particularly with regional anesthesia techniques, is crucial to reduce intraoperative and postoperative risks. Aim & Objectives: This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic stability, pain control, and complications in patients with impaired ejection fraction undergoing lower limb surgery under regional nerve block versus epidural block. Materials & Methods: A randomized, controlled trial was conducted in the Department of Anesthesia at MLN Medical College, Prayagraj. A total of 88 patients with LVEF
