High risk patients presenting for hip fracture surgeries can be successfully managed with peripheral nerve blocks. The antitachycardia mechanism of AICD was suspended after he was taken into the operating room and a defibrillator was kept standby. Vascular access was obtained through a 18 Gauge catheter placed on the right upper limb and onein right external jugular vein. Geriatric patients with multiple comorbidities for hip fracture surgeries continue to be very challenging as general and neuraxial anaesthesia interfere with the hemodynamic parameters.
