Background: Surgical treatment of proximal femur fractures is complicated by postoperative delirium in about one-third of patients. Pain and opioid consumption are modifiable factors that may influence the incidence of delirium.1 An intrathecal injection of morphine may lead to a reduction in postoperative pain and reduced systemic opioid consumption. In current practice, the addition of morphine to intrathecal anaesthesia is commonly used but depends on the anaesthesiologist's preference. Recently, a retrospective study found that intrathecal morphine was independently associated with a lower incidence of delirium. However, this has to be confirmed in a prospective, randomised study. We hypothesise that using intrathecal morphine reduces postoperative pain and opioid consumption during the first 48 h after surgery and reduces the incidence of delirium during hospital admission. We also seek additional evidence of the association between neuronal injury (delirium) and neurofilament light in serum of patients with proximal femur fractures. Objective: The primary objective is to compare the incidence of delirium. The secondary objectives are to compare pain scores, systemic opioid consumption, and (opioid-related) side-effects. The tertiary objective is to test the association between intrathecal morphine and neurofilament light as a marker of neuronal injury. Study design: A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled intervention study is proposed. Study population: All patients with a proximal femur fracture who are scheduled for surgery under spinal anaesthesia. Intervention: The intervention is the addition of morphine 100 μg to the intrathecal injection for spinal anaesthesia. The intervention group will receive a mixture of bupivacaine 10 mg and morphine 100 μg. The control group will receive bupivacaine 10 mg.
