To compare the immediate and postoperative analgesic efficacy of S-FICB and PENG block will be the objective. The use of ultrasonography in anesthesia has helped the anesthetist to see the nerve, needle and the distribution of the drug, thereby enhancing the chances of a favorable outcome of the nerve block. Grade A recommendation for an ultrasound guided approach to the peripheral nerve blocks is supported by level Ib evidence for a shortened time for the onset of sensory block, decreased performance time and lower drug doses10. Although individually both the blocks have been studied, there are only a handful of studies comparing both techniques under ultrasound guidance for making patient positioning for spinal anesthesia easy. And no local data is available comparing these blocks. So, we want to compare the analgesic efficacy of USG PENG block with USG S-FICB block in patients with fracture femur in reducing pain associated with positioning (sitting) for subarachnoid block, duration of analgesia, opioid sparing effect and complications. So that procedure with better analgesic efficacy and less complications will be included in our local guidelines as a part of multimodal analgesia.
