Combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) is commonly utilized for lower limb orthopedic surgery in elderly patients. Therefore, this study explored the application of dexmedetomidine (Dex) and ropivacaine (Rop) assisted CSEA in elderly IFF patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Totally 187 elderly IFF patients were assigned into the Rop assisted CSEA (Rop-CSEA), low-dose Dex-Rop assisted CSEA (low Dex and Rop-CSEA) and high-dose Dex-Rop assisted CSEA (high Dex and Rop-CSEA) groups. We compared block effects, hemodynamic indicators [heart rate (HR)\/respiratory rate (RR)\/mean arterial pressure (MAP)] at time before anesthesia (T0)\/skin incision (T1)\/10\u00a0min postoperatively (T2)\/suture postoperatively (T3)\/anesthesia recovery (T4), postoperative pain mediator release [substance P (SP)\/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)\/5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)], neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), adverse reactions, delirium and cognitive dysfunction incidence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with the Rop-CSEA group, low\/high Dex and Rop-CSEA groups had shortened onset times, prolonged recovery times in sensory\/motor block, elevated HR\/RR\/MAP, repressed pain mediator release, and reduced postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction incidences. HR\/RR\/MAP exhibited reductions followed by elevations at T2-T4, and SP\/PGE2\/5-HT levels revealed elevations in all groups postoperatively. NLR level displayed enhancement followed by reduction, and NLR in the low\/high Dex and Rop-CSEA groups was abated on postoperative days 1\u20135.
