Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether epidural levobupivacaine applied for the
purpose of post-operative analgesia compared to systemic analgesia with morphine leads to
better pain control, stronger suppression of the inflammatory response and the production of
inflammatory mediators, faster recovery of patients and consequently less incidence of
postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients after surgical treatment of
femoral fractures.
