Abstract
Experiences with the anaesthetic management of 248 patients undergoing total hip replacement are presented. Blood loss does not appear to be influenced by hypertension, the method of venting or the type of anaesthetic, with the exception of neurolept-analgesia. The importance of oxygen therapy in the treatment of the pulmonary embolic syndrome is stressed and the prevention of deep venous thrombosis is discussed. Mortality and morbidity figures are given.Keywords
