Preoperative Analgesia: The Effectiveness of the PENG Block in Patients With Hip Fractures

The aim is to provide effective preoperative analgesia in patients undergoing surgical procedures due to hip fractures by administering a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block under ultrasound guidance. This approach seeks to increase patient satisfaction, reduce analgesic requirements, enable earlier discharge, and decrease morbidity and mortality.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients undergoing hip farcture surgery

Exclusion criteria

  • Chronic analgesics consumption
  • Patients contraindicated for neuraxial anesthesia
  • Alcohol and drug addiction
  • Allergies to local anesthetics and opioids
  • Patients who refuses to participate in the study

Treatment and study plan

PENG block with 0.25% bupivacaine guided by ultrasound.

Procedure

PENG (Pericapsular nerve block) is a peripheral nerve block which is performed for patients with hip fractures aimed to prevent preoperative and postoperative pain. It is performed under sterile conditions under ultrasound guideance.

Primary outcomes

  1. Preoperative Pain Scores and Opioid Consumption

    Time frame: 24 hours preoperatively

    Preoperative pain of patients will be assessed with NRS (Numeric Raitng Scale) which ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the most severe pain imaginable).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Discharge Time

    Time frame: From surgery to discharge up to 30 days

  2. Postoperative Mortality and Morbidity

    Time frame: 30 days after surgery

    Postoperative complications such as infections, embolism, chronic pain and survival status

  3. Opioid Consumption

    Time frame: 24 hours preoperatively

    Opioid consumption will be assessed with patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device which measures analgesic drug consumption. Fentanyl consumption unit will be micrograms.
