About this study

Anesthesia for lower limb revascularization consists of general anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia and peripheral regional block. Fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is an anterior approach to the lumbar plexus and it blocks femoral nerve, LFCN, and limited numbers of nearby nerves such as ilioinguinal, genitor femoral.
