This was a pilot study focusing on people over 70 years old attending the emergency department with Neck of Femur (NoF) fractures. The aim of the trial was to compare two groups of patients while undergoing surgery. One group will have tighter control over their blood pressure while the second group will receive normal care. The study was hoping to prove that tighter intraoperative blood pressure monitoring improves outcomes. We do not have the results of this study yet
