Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To measure and compare the efficacy of FNB with two techniques in patients undergoing hip surgeries in terms of: 1. Fraction of drug reaching the femoral nerve 2. Extent of relief from pain during positioning for anaesthesia (by NRS) Timepoint: During pre-anaesthetic evaluation and at baseline, 15 minutes and 30 minutes after instituting femoral nerve block by NRS score—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Onset time Overall success rate Adverse effects like vascular puncture, nerve puncture, hematoma, toxicity Timepoint: During pre-anaesthetic evaluation & at baseline, 15 minutes & 30 minutes after instituting femoral nerve block by NRS score—
