Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of analgesic efficacy of femoral nerve block versus intravenous paracetamol during positioning for central neuraxial block in patients with femur fractures between group P(intravenous paracetamol) and group F( femoral nerve blockage ) using visual analogue pain Scale (VAS score). Timepoint: VAS scores will be assessed during patient positioning for central neuraxial blockage—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of hemodynamic parameters(pulse rate and blood pressure)during the positioning of the patient in both groups.Timepoint: During patient positioning for central neuraxial blockage;Comparison of the quality of patient position in likerts scale as perceived by the anaesthesiologist performing the central neuraxial block between both the groups.Timepoint: During patient positioning for central neuraxial blockage;Comparison of the rescue fentanyl dose used during the procedure to alleviate the pain in both the groups.Timepoint: if patient still has VAS score greater than 4 during positioning even after intravenous paracetamol(group P) or femoral nerve block(group F);Comparison of the total time taken for performance of the block in both the groups.Timepoint: Time taken for central neuraxial block will be compared—
