0.5% bupivacaine was used for spinal anesthesia. 45 patients who underwent surgery of the femoral neck fracture were studied using a dose of 2.5ml. Hypotension occurred more slightly in spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine than in epidural anesthesia. No significant side effect was noted. It was found that bupivacaine provided satisfactory spinal anesthesia for surgery on aged patients.
