Measure
UFNB
Ultrasound guided 3 in 1 femoral nerve block: The UFNB was performed by first visualizing the femoral nerve in a transverse orientation just inferior to the inguinal ligament and lateral to the common femoral artery. UFNB (Ultrasound guided femoral nerve block)
UFIB
Ultrasound Guided Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block: For the UFIB, the two fascial planes, the fascia lata and the fascia iliaca, were sonographically visualized with the probe transverse to the thigh just inferior to the inguinal ligament and one-third of the distance from the anterior superior iliac spine to the pubic tubercle. UFIB (Ultrasound Guided Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block)
IVMS
IV Morphine: IV Morphine patients were also monitored for a minimum of one hour after they were given a second dose of IV morphine, 0.1 mg/kg, once the radiographs demonstrated fracture. The control group was also eligible to receive rescue analgesia of an additional 0.1 mg/kg of IV morphine, followed by repeat doses of 0.05 mg/kg IVMS (IV Morphine)
