Femoral Nerve Block vs Peri-capsular Nerve Group Block for Hip Fracture Analgesia

The purpose of the study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of femoral nerve block and peri-capsular nerve group block administered before spinal anesthesia for positioning to spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture and to evaluate the efficacy for postoperative analgesia

About this study

Spinal anesthesia is commonly used in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. However the procedure of patient positioning to perform a spinal block is painful and may require the administration of IV analgesics or some regional anesthesia techniques such as femoral nerve block, fascia-iliaca compartment block, peri-capsular nerve group block. At the study, the investigators aimed to compare analgesic efficacy of femoral nerve block and peri-capsular nerve group block administered before spinal anesthesia for positioning to spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture and to evaluate the efficacy for postoperative analgesia.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • patients with hip fracture scheduled for surgery under spinal anesthesia.

Exclusion criteria

  • hemorrhagic diathesis,
  • peripheral neuropathy,
  • allergy to local anesthetics,
  • mental disorders,
  • use of analgesics for 8 h before the performance of spinal block

Treatment and study plan

Femoral nerve block

Other

Patients will be performed a femoral nerve block using bupivacaine thirty minutes before the performing of spinal block.

peri-capsular nerve group block

Other

Patients will be performed a peri-capsular nerve group block using bupivacaine thirty minutes before the performing of spinal block.

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of pain scores assessed by Numerical rating Score Scale during positioning for spinal anesthesia

    Time frame: 30 minutes

    Pain scores will be assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores (from 0=no pain to 10=maximum possible pain).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of pain scores at rest

    Time frame: 30 min

    Pain scores will be assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum possible pain) at rest before and 30 min after the block performance.

  2. Rate of pain scores on passive limb lifting

    Time frame: 30 min

    Pain scores will be assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum possible pain) on passive limb lifting before and 30 min after the block performance.

  3. rate of postoperative pain scores

    Time frame: 24 hours

    Pain scores will be assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum possible pain).at 6, 12, 24 hours postoperatively.

  4. Amount of postoperative analgesic consumption

    Time frame: 24 hours

    Postoperative analgesic consumption will be recorded for postoperative 24 hours
