Peri-Capsular Nerve Group and Supra Inguinal Fascia Iliaca BLOCK for Analgesia and Ease of Positioning During Neuraxial Anesthesia in Hip Fracture Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Severe pain associated with fractured hip often results in difficulty during positioning for spinal anesthesia (SA). Among many regional analgesic techniques, the fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is popular among anesthesiologists to provide immediate as well as postoperative analgesia in hip fractures. Recently, the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has been proposed to provide effective analgesia in hip fracture patients. However, comparative studies between PENG and FICB are lacking.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- NRS [30 minute postoperative]
In a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), patients are asked to circle the number between 0 and 10, that fits best to their pain intensity. Zero usually represents 'no pain at all' whereas the upper limit represents 'the worst pain ever possible'.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- amount of tramadol used [24 hours postoperatively]
number of rescue doses of tramadol will be recorded
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- 40 years and above with hip fracture with persistent pain and scheduled for surgery under spinal anesthesia (SA)
Exclusion Criteria:
- any contraindications to SA or peripheral nerve blocks, history of ischaemic heart disease, patients on opioids for chronic pain and patients with significant cognitive impairment. Patients who had no pain while sitting by themselves (resting pain less than 4 on NRS) for SA without any support were also excluded.
