Summary

This study is a prospective, randomized clinical trial assessing the efficacy of physician-performed ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block vs fascia iliaca compartment (FIC) block for pain control in acute hip fracture.

Conditions

  • Hip Fractures
  • Nerve Block
  • Analgesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block

Under sterile technique, physician will identify relevant landmarks including the femoral artery, femoral vein, femoral nerve, ileopubic eminence (IPE), anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS), psoas tendon (PT). Target area is bony space between AIIS and IPE adjacent to PT. Using in-plane technique with constant visualization, needle will be inserted through skin and soft tissue targeting fascial plane below the psoas tendon, above ilium bone. Landmark lies between the AIIS and IPE, just lateral to psoas tendon. As needle tip reaches target, small volume of normal saline will be injected to hydrodissect tissue. Fluid will start to spread along fascial plane, lifting the psoas tendon from ilium, confirming proper positioning. Normal saline will then be switched to anesthetic (30mL of Bupivacaine 0.25%). After full volume of anesthetic has been injected, a small volume (5mL) of normal saline will be injected to flush line of remaining anesthetic. Needle will then be withdrawn.

PROCEDURE

Fascia Iliaca Compartment (FIC) Block for Patients with Isolated Hip Fractures

Under sterile technique, physician will identify relevant landmarks, including femoral artery, femoral vein, femoral nerve, iliacus muscle with overlying fascia iliaca. Using in-plane technique with constant visualization, needle will be inserted through skin and soft tissue targeting the fascial plane above iliacus muscle. As needle tip reaches the target, a small volume of normal saline will be injected to hydrodissect tissue. Fluid will start to spread along fascial plane, confirming proper positioning. Normal saline will then be switched to anesthetic (30mL of Bupivacaine 0.25%). After full volume of anesthetic has been injected, a small volume (5mL) of normal saline will be injected to flush the line of remaining anesthetic. The needle will then be withdrawn.
