Comparison of Analgesic Efficacy of PENB Block with FICB in Post Operative Hip Fracture Patients

This study was done to evaluate two different interventions for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing hip surgeries. Fifty patients, divided in two equal groups, were included in the study. Patients in Group P were given pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block while those in Group F were given fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB). Pain score, using Numeric Rating scale as a measurement tool, was assessed at one, six, eighteen and twenty fours after the procedure as a primary outcome. Total tramadol consumption in milligrams was recorded as a secondary outcome.
