About this trial

Delirium is a common complication following hip fracture surgery (HFS) in older people. Postoperative hypoxia has also been associated with delirium, but not specifically in geriatric patients. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that post-operative hypoxia is associated with in-hospital complications in patients with HFS.
