Comparison of EOSP Between Usg Guided S-FICB vs USG Guided PENG Block in Pts Undergoing Femur Fracture Surgery

Summary

To compare the immediate and postoperative analgesic efficacy of S-FICB and PENG block will be the objective. The use of ultrasonography in anesthesia has helped the anesthetist to see the nerve, needle and the distribution of the drug, thereby enhancing the chances of a favorable outcome of the nerve block. Grade A recommendation for an ultrasound guided approach to the peripheral nerve blocks is supported by level Ib evidence for a shortened time for the onset of sensory block, decreased performance time and lower drug doses10.

Although individually both the blocks have been studied, there are only a handful of studies comparing both techniques under ultrasound guidance for making patient positioning for spinal anesthesia easy. And no local data is available comparing these blocks. So, we want to compare the analgesic efficacy of USG PENG block with USG S-FICB block in patients with fracture femur in reducing pain associated with positioning (sitting) for subarachnoid block, duration of analgesia, opioid sparing effect and complications. So that procedure with better analgesic efficacy and less complications will be included in our local guidelines as a part of multimodal analgesia.

Conditions

• Post Operative Pain
• Bradycardia
• Hypotension
• Femur Fracture

Interventions

DRUG

USG GUIDED SUPRA-INGUINAL FASCIA ILIACA BLOCK

With the patient in the proper position, the skin will be disinfected and the transducer positioned to identify the femoral artery and the iliopsoas muscle and fascia iliaca. The transducer will be moved laterally until the sartorius muscle is identified. As the needle will eventually pierce the fascia, maybe a "pop" will be felt. After negative aspiration, 1-2 mL of local anesthetic will be injected to confirm the proper injection plane between the fascia and the ilio-psoas muscle. A proper injection will result in the separation of the fascia iliaca by the local anesthetic in the medial-lateral direction from the point of injection as described. After the spread of the drug will be seen, the rest of the drug volume will be injected

DRUG

PERICAPSULAR NERVE BLOCK

an ultrasound probe will be placed over the line joining anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and pubic tubercle (PT) keeping lateral margin at ASIS and adjusted the probe to get a sonoanatomic view for PENG block. The needle entry point will be selected on the skin in such a manner that perpendicular needle entry will guide needle near target point iliopectineal eminence (IPE). The needle entry point will be anaesthetized with 2 ml 1% lidocaine and 22G 80mm stimuplex needle will be inserted "out-of- plane" to reach the bony rim near IPE avoiding injury to femoral nerve (visible just lateral to femoral artery). On bony contact, 20 ml 0.5% bupivacaine will be injected slowly with repeated aspiration to avoid intravascular injection. The correct needle position will be confirmed by drug spread under ilio-psoas muscle and then the rest of the drug volume will be injected.
