Efficacy and safety of norepinephrine versus phenylephrine infusion for prophylaxis against spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly population undergoing hip fracture surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

Conclusions: Both NE and PE infusions effectively prevented spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. However, NE provided more hemodynamic stability than PE, maintaining the heart rate, higher cardiac output, less reactive bradycardia, and hypertension.
