Radiological Study of PENG Block Depth

This study evaluates the depth of anatomical landmarks required in regional anaesthesia to perform either Femoral Nerve Block or PENG Block.

Measures will be performed on abdominal and pelvic computed tomography as part of daily routine patient care.

About this study

PENG Block is a new approach in regional anesthesia for hip surgery. The anatomical landmarks used to perform PENG Block are deeper than those for Femoral Nerve Block. Nevertheless, depth required for PENG Block is not yet evaluated since it may vary between patients.

Daily routine abdominal and pelvic computed tomography allow such anatomical description.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • All adult patients who have had a CT scan including visualization of the pelvis and who have expressed no opposition

Exclusion criteria

  • pregnancy
  • Subject presenting a pathology likely to modify the anatomical landmarks studied: ie pelvic fracture, psoas haematoma, previous pelvic surgery or hip prosthesis or femoral bypass

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. PENG Block depth

    Time frame: 1 hour after radiological examination

    Measure of puncture depth required to achieve a PENG Block on CT Scann images

Secondary outcomes

  1. Femoral Nerve Block depth

    Time frame: 1 hour after radiological examination

    Measure of puncture depth required to achieve a Femoral Nerve Block on CT Scann images

  2. puncture angle needed

    Time frame: 1 hour after radiological examination

    Measure of puncture angle that would be required to achieve a PENG Block depth on CT Scann images

  3. needle length needed

    Time frame: 1 hour after radiological examination

    Measure of needle length that would be required to achieve a PENG Block depth on CT Scann images
