Peri-Capsular Nerve Group and Supra Inguinal Fascia Iliaca BLOCK for Analgesia and Ease of Positioning During Neuraxial Anesthesia in Hip Fracture Patients

Egypt60 participantsStarted 2023-08-10

Plain-language 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.
