Abstract
Two patients with hip fracture and with severe cardiac disease, who were anesthetized using a combination of dexmedetomidine sedation and fascia iliaca compartment block, are reported. The block covered almost the entire skin incision area and the major area of the fractured bone. The hemodynamic status and respiratory condition of both patients were stable throughout the surgery.
