General vs Spinal Anesthesia in Total Joint Arthroplasty
This study is comparing two types of anesthesia, General Anesthesia and Spinal Anesthesia, for patients undergoing total joint replacement surgery for knee or hip osteoarthritis. Researchers want to understand how these different anesthesia methods affect your recovery. They will be looking at things like how long you stay in the hospital, your pain levels, and any nausea you might experience after surgery. They are also interested in other outcomes such as infections, fractures around the implant, implant dislocation, and if you need to be readmitted to the hospital or have another surgery. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, are having a total hip or knee replacement for the first time, and can speak English or Spanish. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll about 2396 participants.
