Comparing Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block With Erector Spinae Plane Block in Hip and Proximal Femur Surgery

Most hip fractures occur in the elderly population. Opioid-related respiratory depression is more common in the elderly population but can cause severe brain damage or death. Reducing the amount of opioids administered before, during and after surgery by adding a regional block may increase the postoperative quality of recovery, reduce chronic pain syndromes, and may potentially facilitate the participation of patients in rehabilitation.

Despite their potential advantages, peripheral nerve blocks are still not widely used in people with hip fractures.

The primary objective of this study is to compare patients' postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption.
