Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound guided femoral 3 in 1 block versus the blind technique single shot fascia iliaca compartment block as an analgesia method in patients prior positioning for spinal anaesthesia in femur fracture surgery. A total of 60 patients were enrolled and divided equally into 2 groups.

Conditions

  • Regional Anaesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB)

The FICB was done in the OT with standard monitoring with emergency airway intervention and resuscitation drug prepared before performing intended block. Patient was put in supine position, using aseptic technique, chlorhexidine solution and draped with sterile medical towel. Lignocaine 2% for local anaesthetic infiltration at punctured site.A blunted needle (Plexufix® 24G x 2", B Braun Melsungen AG 34209 Germany).A line was drawn from pubic tubercle to anterior superior iliac spine, the punctured point is 2-3cm distal to the point where medial 2/3rd and lateral 1/3rd of the line meet. Loss of resistance 2 times indicated the punctured of fascia lata and iliaca.A total volume of Ropivacaine 0.375% per body weight was given with repeated aspiration.

PROCEDURE

3 in 1 femoral block (FNB)

The FNB was done in the OT with standard monitoring with emergency airway intervention and resuscitation drug prepared before performing intended block.Patient was put in supine position, using aseptic technique, chlorhexidine solution and draped with sterile medical towel.Lignocaine 2% for local anaesthetic infiltration at punctured site.An insulated stimulating needle (Stimuplex® D Plus 22g x 2", B Braun Melsungen AG 34209 Melsungen Germany). Ultrasound was used to locate the femoral vessel and nerve and by using 'in plane' technique, the skin was punctured with the insulated needle and advance in transverse plane at around 30 angle to the skin. Local anaesthetic solution as per ideal body weight given after negative aspiration of blood .
